HEADS UP: /bin/sh change to $*
This change should affect no-one and nothing
(except a couple of the sh ATF tests which will fail,
and I will fix - they are incorrect.)
That will happen probably tomorrow - UTC tommorrow,
not my timezone), ie: between 3 and 27 hours from now,
and closer to the far end of that range, and just
probably, other issues may arise.
But just in case, beware of issues that may arise
in sh scripts that use an unquoted $* or $@ in a
situation where field splitting is expected. In
some cases the output will have changed.
The cases where that will happen are unlikely, but
certainly might exist - if any problems are observed,
let me know, and send me (not via a list) the
script causing the issue (or if it is a standard
NetBSD script .. something in src/ or xsrc/) just
send me the path to find it.
