The problem here is not the script itself, but rather that ssh -o
ProxyCommand invokes the specified command via the user's shell.  The
other similar case occurs when the tests invoke a remote command,
which also ends up being parsed by the user's login shell.  We do
attempt to account for the latter, so accounting for the former should
not be significantly harder.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
