Hi, in the context of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781461 i've stumbled upon the following issue: (our pdksh)
$cat <<EOF > echo ${FOO:+'blah'aa} > EOF echo blahaa bash-4.2# FOO=1 bash-4.2# cat <<EOF > echo ${FOO:+'blah'aa} > EOF echo 'blah'aa Apparently the ksh from solaris, hpux and debian don't strip the quotes in that usecase, and none of the other shells do (bash, dash, zsh...) So maybe it can be considered as a bug in our pdksh.. Landry
