Hi,

The sample command:

$ echo `ls -d /home/*"`

works in ksh-20100621 but fails in ksh-20120801


>From what I could read in src/cmd/ksh93/sh/lex.c
it apparently attempts to "fix" the command by
adding the missing character, that is, attempt to
execute it as:

$ echo `ls -d /home/*""`

but with ksh-20120801 it fails like this:

$ echo `ls -d /home/*"`
ls: cannot access /home/*
: No such file or directory

This looks like a minor issue, that usually would only
happen due to an user typo, but the
---8<---
: No such file or directory
---8<---
does not look like something to ignore.

Thanks,
Paulo
