While trying to track down a libtool problem on yesterday's
NetBSD-current/i386, I ended up with:

================= foo ==================
Xsed='sed -e s/^X//'
no_glob_subst='s/\*/\\\*/g'

output_cmd="hello"
echo "output_cmd: ($output_cmd)"
output_cmd="`echo \"X$output_cmd\" | $Xsed -e \"$no_glob_subst\"`"
echo "output_cmd: ($output_cmd)"
========================================
% sh bar                 (also OK with bash)
output_cmd: (hello)
output_cmd: (hello)
% ksh bar
output_cmd: (hello)
sed: 1: ""s/\*/\\\*/g"": invalid command code "
output_cmd: ()


Any thoughts on what's up with the quoting?

Cheers,

Patrick
