Hello,

on my FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE the line:

sh -c 'set -- ${HOME+A B C}; echo "1:$1"; echo "2:$2:"; echo "3:$3:"'

prints

1:A B C:
2::
3::

I would rather expect:

1:A:
2:B:
3:C:

Is it correct that field splitting isn't performed on default/alternate
expanded values?


"A B C" is a single value tha thappens to contain spaces.
so, yes there is no splitting at that point.
