[also sent to 683671@b.d.o since this concerns dash; for reportbug, one should do a test with bash as /bin/sh to see whether reportbug is really buggy or if this is just a consequence of the dash bug.]

So, even if the problem is "fixed" (avoided) in Emacs, the real problem still exists. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
