Comment (by knarf):

 {{{
   echo ""
 }}}
 without the -n option produces an empty line (a newline is output). The -n
 option prevents this newline, at least the echo command I know does have
 that option. The "-n" isn't output on my system. Can you check if your
 echo command lacks it? That would explain why lines containing "-n" are
 output there. If there are systems with the echo command lacking this
 option we would have to do something else instead. This line is supposed
 to simply do nothing; we should be able to do come up with another command
 for that, maybe a single ":" might work just as well, at least when I test
 it in sh, tcsh and bash.
