This is a rephrasing of what I wrote: The splitting does not affect any shells when called by scripts with <= 1 argument - because the splitting change doesn't affect anything in those cases. Therefore the shell behaviour is not relevant, except for such scripts. On my system there are no such scripts. -- Jamie
