No, I was suggesting that it would be helpful to file a bug report.  Any 
time we see differences between call a shell function within LC and 
using the same shell call in Terminal, IMO it warrants either 
explanation or repair.

At the time I wrote that I hadn't tested it, but I just did a quick test 
in Linux.

In Terminal I dumped it to a file so I could get the line count in LC, 
and ran your LC script directly in LC.

LC shell call:   113079 lines
Terminal output: 113041 lines

Not sure why they're different, and I haven't yet bothered to diff them 
to see where the differences lie, but it seems at least worth noting in 
the docs that there may be permission differences or other factors which 
can yield difference results when using the shell function in LC.
