Works for me.  But I still do not understand this:

       chunk=`echo -n $arg`

thing (despite later messages).  Using bash I can just put

       chunk=$arg

and it works (the problem was on test line).  Zsh manual claims
that word splitting is not done on assignment (and I think
same is true for bash).
