 My interactive shell is zsh, but I doubt whether that's relevant
 because the scripts look like they are sensibly written to use
 #!/bin/sh.
 
 I also just noticed that running `./gnulib-tool --create-testdir ...'
 had left a directory $TMPDIR/gnulib-python-cache-riastradh lying
 around.

 Yes, thanks, we should still clarify the NBCHAR_MAX business and/or
 remove it, so I'll leave the PR open until we do one or the other.
