You've hit yet another hush bug. Normally when you do a

# foo="bar baz"
# for i in $foo; echo $i; done
bar
baz

$foo expands to two words. This works as expected.

This also works with:

# for i in *; do echo $i; done
dev
env
foo
mnt
tmp

Using a combination of glob pattern and variable however does not work:

# foo="*"
# for i in $foo; do echo $i; done
dev env foo mnt tmp

hush inserts the expanded glob pattern of "*" as a single word into the
parsing data, so i doesn't contain the separated words, but instead "dev
env foo mnt tmp" at once.

There are many bugs like this in hush and we've fixed several of them,
possibly inserting other bugs along the way. I've starred on the code
for a long time over the years and still don't fully understand it. When
changing things I'm often not sure about its implications. To put it
shortly: hush is broken beyond repair.

Sascha
