Hello,

I have a little patch (attached) that does check the version of bash, and uses associative arrays (or doesn't) depending on that version.

The problem now is that the test suite will only work on one platform t a time, i.e. if there is a bash4 there, it will pass, but if it has bash3, it will work as intended, but return a different value set. Is there a way to have platform-dependent tests ?

Funny, it's holiday season here as well (in Bretagne) ;-)

Thanks a lot. If I can help, please let me know.
