+Yes, that is less obfuscated version of that, whichever you feel more\r

+Interestigly zsh on Scientific Linux 6.2 fails here (zsh 4.3.10) -- I tried\r
+various tricks and none helped. Hmm also zsh 4.3.17 on Ubuntu 12.04 fails.\r
+zsh 5.0.2 on Fedora 20 works OK. ksh & bash installed on all these 3\r
+systems work OK (and also bash 3.2.51... on Mac OS X). \r
