Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dash
When IFS is set in a script, and the script as started with dash, dash doesn't
understand IFS properly.
IFS is set and the script name has a n or a t in it's name, dash removes those
characters.
eg. script: /home/username/bin/testnew.sh
=========
#/bin/dash
IFS=' \t\n'
echo $0
=========
result:
/home/user ame/bi / es ew.sh
expected result:
/home/username/bin/testnew.sh
the same result happens if script is #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh and it
is started with 'dash scriptname', since Ubuntu points /bin/sh ->
/bin/dash this happens in almost every script.
** Affects: dash (Ubuntu)
