Would you be willing to post this to the upstream list? Rkhunter-users.net Or would you prefer I do so?

If you could do it, it would be nice; I have no experience cooperating with the sourceforge folks. I should also mention, that I am slightly baffled by the shell behavior - I would not expect it, but it is repeatable also on Mint MATE (for what's that worth).
