Hi,
reporting unexpected behaviour of bb, moreprecisely it's arithmetic ternary 
operator.
This caused me quite a apin to debug my scripts as it was not exactly 
consistent.
I join two scripts showcasing the two situations i'm refering to.
I only got hand on a static build 1.35 for x86-64 but i'm ready to test with 
more recent build... in an official repository :-)
the scripts are :

  - ari : show the *leaking* of the execution from 1st case to 2nd case 
whenever 1st case should be the only outcome.
           for ref. after i then run the same code under bash giving the 
expected result

  - tri : simpler yet more puzzling since the code at 1st return erronous 
result with the actual names i'd give my variables
          but, strangly for me, changes its outcome in the course of this 
little sript returning '1' instead of '0' for
          the SAME set of variables+values ( an actual copy-paste of the 
initial lines! ).
          This time both busybox's sh and bash give the same result : I'm 
really getting to old and refuse change?

all that being said, thank you for this "magical" toolbox.

and again, i'd be pleased to test on a more recent static build for x86-64 (i'm 
still running a tinycorelinux v.10)

have a nice day/night/week,

JClu.

PS :
  "bash --version" says "GNU bash, version 4.4.18(1)-release 
(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)\n..."
