>Description:
The script fails on these two lines so far; "stat" and "od"


# This won't work with non-GNU stat.
FILE_SIZE=`stat --format "%s" "$0"`
offset=$(($FILE_SIZE - 4))



   # XXX: put extraction in its own function
   MAGIC_NUMBER=`od -An -t u4 -N 4 -j $MAGIC_OFFSET "$file" | tr -d ' '`

   if [ "$MAGIC_NUMBER" != "907380241" ]; then
      echo "magic number does not match"
      #exit 1
   fi

>How-To-Repeat:


./prgm.bundle
>Fix:
The linux Bash version is 4.1.7(1) and the installed freebsd is 4.1.7(0)-release
