[PATCH] sh-setup: Explicitly set IFS to its default, instead of unsetting it.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Marc Branchaud <marcnarc@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Some sh implementations interpret "unset IFS" to mean IFS=''.  This was
seen in FreeBSD 7.2's sh.

We need to make sure IFS has its default value: <space><tab><newline>.
