Hi,
While playing around with parameter expansion I noticed that the
following didn't work in dash (dash 0.5.5.1-7.4ubuntu1) as compared
to bash even though I believe it should be POSIX-compliant:
my_str=swan; last_char="${my_str#${my_str%?}}"; echo ${last_char}
If the double quotes are removed, the last character is printed correctly.
At a quick glance through the commits after the 0.5.5.1 release I saw
the following bug fix. Could it be related?

Thanks,
