Thanks for reporting this, Bernhard.  Actually, that's exactly what the script 
tries to do on line 57, by calling the function 'die', but it says it does not 
find it.  I can find two reasons for that:

1/ the function definition must be before its first usage; that's not what I am 
used to with my Bash, but I imagine it could be the case with some variant.  
Could you try to move it from lines 99-103 (from "die() {" to "}") to before 
its first use (like right after the first comments at the top of the file)?

2/ you are not using Bash.  In that case you could try to call it explicitly 
(by typing something like "bash xspec.sh") and see if that solves the problem.  
I think anyway we'd best avoid the dependence on Bash and make the necessary 
changes to be POSIX sh-compliant.

Any info on this last point more than welcome :-)

Well, actually I was able to reproduce the problem after all.  I moved the 
function declarations at the top of the file, in revision 188.  Thanks!

I forgot, please let me know if that solves your problem, so I can flag the 
issue as verified.

It does solve the problem to move the die function up. That's what I had 
submitted in my patch, too (see the patch I attached when I opened the issue).

He he right, I hadn't see you patch (I still have to get used to the Google 
Code interface, but after a while it starts to prove rather efficient).

Thanks for your help!
