Bug#344082: tetex-bin: fmtutil segfault

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Hi Matthias, hi Emmanuel,

again a shell script that segfaults.  Could 344082 and 343444 be the
same bugs?  Emmanuel, which version of bash is installed on your system?

Line 344 is the opening brace `{' in 

###############################################################################
# verbose (cmd)
#   execute cmd. Redirect output depending on $mktexfmtMode.
###############################################################################
verbose()
{
  $mktexfmtMode && ${1+"$@"} >&2 || ${1+"$@"}
}

and again there is a variable that's supposed to contain a command and
is not yet expanded before the shell segfaults.
