Description Jason McCormick 2004-08-16 12:47:04 AEST 
This is a itty bitty patch to change head to use '-n LINES' instead of
'-LINES' since GNU's coreutils is deprecating that usage for POSIX 1003.1-2001
compliance.  GNU's doc reference:

http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_chapter/coreutils_5.html#SEC18

I believe 'hean -n LINES' is portable everywhere.

Make that 'head -n LINES'

It has been suggested that setting (and exporting) _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
someplace like test-exec.sh will cause head (and possibly other programs?) to
accept older options.  IMHO that's the best option.
