I recently found a bug with the cut provided by Busybox where a command like "cut -s -d ' ' -f 2" will still print blank lines. This deviates from the output produced by Coreutils cut.
Coreutils: ``` $ echo -e "\n\nfoo bar baz\n\na simple example\n\n" | cut -s -d ' ' -f 2 bar simple ``` Busybox: ``` $ echo -e "\n\nfoo bar baz\n\na simple example\n\n" | busybox cut -s -d ' ' -f 2 bar simple ``` This appears to be a regression in Busybox that was introduced by 0068ce2fa: cut: add toybox-compatible options -O OUTSEP, -D, -F LIST I've included a patch that will fix this issue without introducing any other issues. I've verified that all cut tests pass and also added a new test that fails on the tip of master, without my change, and passes with my change. Please let me know if my solution is deemed acceptable.
