I do not see what this has to do with anything.

The shell language parser when parsing a script may do the right
thing, but the bug I was alluding to was that your 'read' does not
seem to be removing the terminating <newline> (which is CRLF on your
platform) after reading a line before splitting the contents on the
line at IFS boundaries.
