KMail/1.13.7 (Linux/2.6.30-2-686; KDE/4.6.5; i686; ; ) |
Found this while testing automake on Solaris 10 with /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
as $CONFIG_SHELL.
$ mkdir new && cd new
$ touch foo
$ /bin/sh -c 'a=.; echo "$a"/*' # Fine.
./foo
$ /usr/xpg4/bin/sh -c 'a=.; echo "$a"/*' # Fine as well.
./foo
$ /bin/sh -c 'a=. b=; echo "$b$a"/*' # Also fine.
./foo
$ /usr/xpg4/bin/sh -c 'a=. b=; echo "$b$a"/*' # Bug!
./*
The bug should probably be documented somewhere in the autoconf
manual. I might attempt a patch in the next days if nobody beats
me (but no promises).
Regards,
Stefano
