When invoking expr to compare two numbers, don't quote the
variables which are the output of 'wc -c'. On OS X, this output
includes spaces, which expr balks at:
$ sz0=`wc -c </etc/passwd`
$ sz1=`wc -c </etc/passwd`
$ echo "'$sz0'"
' 3667'
$ expr "$sz0" \< "$sz1" \* 2
expr: non-numeric argument
$ expr $sz0 \< $sz1 \* 2
