 Modified Files:
 	src/bin/sh [netbsd-3]: expand.c
 
 Log Message:
 Pull up following revision(s) (requested by dsl in ticket #1488):
 	bin/sh/expand.c: revision 1.76
 Set the 'not a parameter' flag when we skip initial whitespace.
 Otherwise:
     ./sh -c 'x=" "; for a in $x; do echo a${a}a; done'
 is processed as a single empty parameter (instead of no parameters).
 Should fix the breakage I introdiced in rev 1.75 and PR/34256 and PR/34254
