Package: bash
Version: 2.05b-4
Severity: important
Tags: sid

This should be equal: "for t" and "for t in $*".
But it is not anymore:
- ----- test.sh -----
#!/bin/sh
# print out param list twice:
for t in $*
do
echo $t
done

for t
do
echo $t
done
- ----- test.sh -----
./test.sh 1 2 3
1
2
3


This makes all ./configure scripts useless, as they are not
accepting commandline parameters anymore!

Cheers, Bastian (trying to grab an old bash version now :)
