There's another case where this goes wrong, that isn't fixed by your,
my, or Herbert's patches:
$ dash -c 'a=\\a; echo "${a#\*}"'
$ bash -c 'a=\\a; echo "${a#\*}"'
\a
My patch and Herbert's preserve dash's current behaviour, your patch
makes it print a. None of that is correct, the result should be the same
as bash.
Never mind, this is a very bad test. I forgot about echo's backslash
handling. Had my terminal emulator given any feedback on \a, I might
have noticed that before sending. This test doesn't show anything wrong
in this area, but I'll check a bit more.
Cheers,
