Hello,
I encountered a regression in DASH from git while attempting to get
it working on Solaris. I got it to build and run, but my scripts were
mysteriously failing. I tracked it down to a logic bug in setvareq()
that caused it to assign through the wrong pointer when attempting to
remove a variable from its hash bucket. The following test case
reproduces the bug for me:
--
#!/bin/dash
GDM_LANG="bar"
OPTION="foo"
unset GDM_LANG
# OPTION has mysteriously become unset
echo "$OPTION"
--
I'll follow up with a patch.
Regards,
Brian Koropoff
