Ah got it. Thanks for the info Adam.

Stephen also told you correctly about that same shell issue.

Stephen said that there was no -V option with "time" on bengal, which seems not quite true, but you should note the weirdness of "man time" on Red Hat, at least on my Red Hat box: It lists one option, -p, and you then have to scroll down two pages to find GNU OPTIONS, and beyond that to find GNU STANDARD OPTIONS. The -V is listed there, under GNU STANDARD OPTIONS. So it's a very unusual man page layout and I think it is written that way to imply that UNIX time has only one option, and in fact that is what I see under Solaris, and that the other options are GNU additions to the standard UNIX time command.
