This look a little bit weird. Why not use:
----8<--------------------------------------------
read A B C D E F <<EOF
one two three four five six
EOF
----8<--------------------------------------------
and
----8<--------------------------------------------
teststring="one two three four five six" 
read A B C D E F <<EOF
$teststring
EOF
echo "Data received = $E Bytes" 
----8<--------------------------------------------
no need for a stupid resources eating subschell expecialy on a ARM.
