IFS bug (maybe)

[Steffen Nurpmeso <steffen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I still stick to that $IFS stuff, and see another difference for
dash (0.5.12) compared to bash and busybox sh:

  a() {
    echo $#,1=$1,2=$2,"$*",$*,
  }
  echo ,"$*"$* $*,
  set -- a b c
  echo ,"$*"$* $*,
  IFS=:;echo ,"$*"$* $*,;unset IFS
  echo 1
  echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*"
  echo 2
  IFS=:; echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*";
  echo 3
  IFS=; echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*";
  echo 4
  IFS= ; echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*";
  echo 5
  IFS="	"; echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*";
  echo 6
  IFS='
  '; echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*";
  echo 7
  IFS="\011"; echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*";
  echo 8
  IFS="\012"; echo "$*"$*; a $* "$*";

and that is
