Thanks for the information. I think I know what is going on. egrep is
not finding a match (i.e. all lines contain "*=") and so is returning
1. The flash-apex script has been told to exit if any command returns
a non-zero value (see "set -e" at the top of the script). So what I
need to do is to deal with the return value of egrep. I'm confused how
this ever worked.
