Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 18:11:42 +0000 (UTC)

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	dsl
 Date:		Tue Aug 22 18:11:42 UTC 2006
 
 Modified Files:
 	src/bin/sh: expand.c
 
 Log Message:
 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
