I've tried a number of syntax-colouring editors, to no avail. The quotes
(single, double, and back) *are* balanced, according to everything I've
thrown the script at. That's why I'm more interested in something that
can actually parse Bourne shell syntax (quiet Terry - I *know* what
you're going to say) and dump out what it thinks the parse tree looks
like. The problem isn't with the quotes being unbalanced, it's something
else that's making the shell ignore one (or more) of those quotes.
