Hi! currently 'read' builtin in ash requires -e option to make it treat backslashes as escapes. current BSD ash and SUSv2 do this by default and use -r option to turn this special treatment off. patch attached.
after this patch, libiberty testsuite passes all test on cygwin :) egor. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] icq 5165414 fidonet 2:5020/496.19
