Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release

Description:
The "for i do ..." construct (to loop over $@ by default) does not
work when bash is compiled with --enable-minimal-config .  I understand
many things aren't supposed to work with --enable-minimal-config ,
but:  1) http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/bourne/common.html suggests
that should work portably on all Bourne shells, and 2) the construct
is used in the bash configure script itself (version 3.2p005, line 1119).

Repeat-By:
The following script shows the bug:

mysub () {
    for i
    do
        echo "here $i"
    done
}

mysub foo bar baz
