Some implementations of diverse shells (including bourne... well,
"reimplementations" perhaps:-) on some platforms have been known to be
rather picky about things like whitespace surronding it, and
placement(!). DG/UX comes to mind here... differed between ksh/sh.
Sigh. Well, it's dead now:-).
I have next to no experience of any modern FreeBSD, so can't say how
things are there:).
