So how exactly do you describe the bug?  Using 'echo \c' inside a command
substitution corrupts state until the next command substitution echo?
When this bug is detected, is it better to just try an alternate means for
printing text without a newline, such as printf, rather than trying to
audit all uses of echo \c?
