Wow.  That's quite the shell script.

Try replacing read with sed 1q in your shell
definitions.  You're in uncharted territory.
Read and acme don't get along very well
about reading multibyte UTF sequences.
Acme currently assumes that it doesn't have to deal
with programs that read from data 1 byte at a time,
like read does.
