The results are a lot better now, but I did spot a problem:
src/dash -c 'X="x "; echo $X'
This is supposed to print "x\n", but the IFS breakup of $X generates
two words, one "x", one " ", meaning "x \n" gets printed instead. I
think this is intended to get fixed up in the if (ifsspc) block, but
that block doesn't get executed when there are no more characters
after the spaces.
Weird, I can't reproduce this at all:
$ src/dash -c 'X="x "; echo $X' | cat -A
x$
$
What am I doing wrong?
It needs two spaces after the "x", not just one. With a single space, it
does work right.
