Well thanks to a bug in Netscape, I went to its search page instead of
whatever I was trying to open, and the my cut-and-paste buffer happend
to have IFS code in it:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/autoconf/2000-03/msg00199.html

Not only does that show that Solaris 2.6's shell does not set IFS, it also
shows that the current autoconf breakage doesn't go back to 1999 as some
have claimed.

I guess this is what they call serendipity.
