I installed your patch, as it's an improvement, but this part of it
still looks wrong to me.  For example, the following shell command
contains an embedded newline, but the code wouldn't catch it:

  foo="bar\\
  baz"

Wouldn't it be safer to report all newlines, even those preceded by
backslash?

(The other Tru64 issues in this area still remain, right?)
