Dear Maintainer, Please have a look to this test: % dash -c 'unset OPTIND' dash: 1: unset: Illegal number: % echo $? 2 % dash -c 'OPTIND=' dash: 1: Illegal number: % echo $? 2 Behaviour with zsh, pdksh, ksh93, bash, busybox ash, yash: $ unset OPTIND $ OPTIND= Found this difference while running a test suite for my script with different POSIX sh's. It looks obvious that OPTIND should not be unset or null so this may not be a bug.
