Did you test Bash 5.0? Because that's where the current bug fixes are going to. I don't see Chet releasing a new version of 4.4 to fix something that's already fixed there. dualbus@ubuntu:~/src/gnu/bash$ cat /tmp/script echo $BASH_VERSION set -- " foo " " bar baz " " quux " unset IFS a=$* b="$*" printf '[%s]' "$a" "$b"; echo dualbus@ubuntu:~/src/gnu/bash$ bash /tmp/script 4.4.19(1)-release [foo bar baz quux][ foo bar baz quux ] dualbus@ubuntu:~/src/gnu/bash$ ./bash /tmp/script 5.0.0(1)-alpha [ foo bar baz quux ][ foo bar baz quux ] Please read this thread: * http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2017-09/msg00058.html
