Re: Avoid false word splitting on RHS of 'local var='

[Karl Berry]

    dash word-splits the right hand side of a 'local' variable assignment,

@sigh
This constant catering to suboptimal shells (and systems), used only
because of arbitrary decisions by non-supporters of GNU, sure wastes a
lot of time that could be spent doing useful things.
@end sigh

Anyway, thanks for the patch, of course.  Will install.
