pdksh: problem with read and string compare

[Thomas Muehlfriedel]

Ok, so it is an erroneous line endings problem. The tmp file containing the
output of the external command has line seps of the form 0x0d 0x0d 0x0a.
Does it help if I switch the drive to text-mode since drive e is mounted in
binmode?

$ mount
D:\software\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
D:\software\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
D:\software\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount)
