Well, I think I found the source of the problem. I'm not
sure if this should be considered a bug or not, but the
tokenizing functions do not consider whether the separating
whitespace has been escaped or not.
####################### in misc.c ###########################
char *
next_token (s)
char *s;
{
register char *p = s;
while (isblank ((unsigned char)*p))
++p;
return p;
}
############################################################
Shouldn't this have logic to see whether the space has been
escaped?
