Right - I hadn't noticed this:
stamp_num=`test "$tcount" -gt 1 && echo "$tcount"`
stamp=$template_dir/stamp-h$stamp_num.in
once tcount becomes larger than 9, there are potential problems.
Now:
a) how likely is it that tcount becomes 10 or more?
b) what impact does using a different name (e.g. st-h-$stamp.in)
have?
