Using /bin/bash works as you might expect.  

I'll try to figure out the limits of this /bin/sh next week if there's any interest in making it work, else you can just close this bug.

Created attachment 50747 [details]
keychain_2.5.1_test1

*sigh* I wondered if there would be a bourne shell out there that would choke
on that. :-(

Does the attached testing version solve the problem?

Nathan, could you test my proposed fix please?

[Comment 5 nbardsley 2005-03-08 15:26:53 UTC]

I will, but I don't think I'll be able to this week.

Nathan, I released the fix in keychain-2.5.3.1.  I think it works, so I'm closing this bug.  Please re-open if the fix doesn't work for you.
