I've tested the patch and it looks like it fixes the bug nicely.

With the patch, dash (like bash, ksh93, mksh and FreeBSD /bin/sh)
completely passes the IFS test suite written by the AT&T ksh93 people:

(archive.org link because the AT&T research site is down)

Any chance of getting this patch pushed into the git repo?

Thanks,
