What specifically are you referring to? - I can't imagine that there's a bash specific bug with IFS since IFS handling is a very old concept in Unixes' shell. - OTOH, I cannot think about changing long existing behavior without breaking tons of code. This would at best [in bash] lead to yet another 'shopt' setting to be explicitly activated. - But how should it then behave? Janis
