>Description:
I noticed that the following shell code does not produce the expected output
(note the missing dots ...) anymore with -current /bin/sh (it works with ksh
and zsh on the same machine, and with sh from 3.0):

njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> cat foo.sh 

echocheck() { echo -n "Checking for $@ ... "; }

echocheck "foo bar"; echo "ok"
echocheck "foo_bar"; echo "ok"

njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> /bin/sh ./foo.sh 
Checking for foo barok
Checking for foo_barok
njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> /bin/ksh ./foo.sh 
Checking for foo bar ... ok
Checking for foo_bar ... ok
njoly@cixy [tmp/sh]> /local/bin/zsh ./foo.sh 
Checking for foo bar ... ok
Checking for foo_bar ... ok

>How-To-Repeat:
Simply run the previous example, and check the output
>Fix:
don't know
