These leading zeros are inconsistent. Math expressions do not seem to
like numbers 08 or 09.
zsh -f
% [ 03 -gt 07 ] && echo ok
% [ 07 -gt 03 ] && echo ok
ok
% [ 07 -gt 07 ] && echo ok
% [ 08 -gt 07 ] && echo ok
zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
% [ 07 -gt 08 ] && echo ok
zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
% [ 07 -gt 09 ] && echo ok
zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
in an effort to stip off the leading zero....
% let x=01
% echo $x
1
% let x=07
% echo $x
7
% let x=08
zsh: lvalue required
% echo $x
7
% echo $ZSH_VERSION
2.6-beta10
(thanks for your work on the best shell out there...)
