bash tests failing when compiled with --enable-xpg-echo-default=yes

[Vladimir Marek]

Hi,

On Solaris bash is compiled with --enable-xpg-echo-default=yes (and
--enable-usg-echo-default=yes if that makes difference). I have no idea
why, but since it was shipped like this for a long time, I am afraid of
changing that :)

Because of this setting the tests are failing. I am attaching a patch we
are using for workaround to show where the problems are seen. I used
'echo -E' when investigating, but "printf '%s\n'" seems to be more
appropriate. If there is interest I'm more than happy to rework the
attached patch.

Thanks!
