Hi,

I just noticed that -current /bin/sh does not give the expected
results (note the missing dots ...) with the following piece of code:

njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> cat ./foo.sh 
#! /bin/sh

echocheck()
{
  echo -n "Checking for $@ ... "
}

echocheck "foo bar"
echo "ok"
echocheck "foo_bar"
echo "ok"

njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> /bin/sh ./foo.sh 
Checking for foo barok
Checking for foo_barok

Results are diffrent with ksh and zsh:

njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> /bin/ksh ./foo.sh 
Checking for foo bar ... ok
Checking for foo_bar ... ok
njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> /local/bin/zsh ./foo.sh
Checking for foo bar ... ok
Checking for foo_bar ... ok

I'm pretty sure it worked previously, but i can't remember when.
