>From time to time, I run into shell bugs (sh or csh, mostly) when
piping through several programs, such as
    VAR_DST=`echo $VAR_SRC | sed -e 's|xxx|yyy|' | tr -d ' '`
or similar. It usually helps to divide it into several steps, making
either intermediate files or intermediate variables, such as
    VAR_TMP=`echo $VAR_SRC | sed -e 's|xxx|yyy|'`
    VAR_DST=`echo $VAR_TMP | tr -d ' '`
It couldn't be anything along these lines?
