[arekm at tarm ~]$ /bin/bash ifs.sh
# tests 6856 passed 6856 failed 0

/bin/sh == bash
[arekm at tarm ~]$ /bin/sh ifs.sh
# tests 6856 passed 6856 failed 0

[arekm at tarm ~]$ /bin/ksh ifs.sh | grep '^#'
# tests 6856 passed 2584 failed 4272

/bin/sh == pdksh
[arekm at tarm ~]$ /bin/sh ifs.sh | grep '^#'
# tests 6856 passed 2584 failed 4272

[arekm at tarm ~]$ /bin/zsh ifs.sh | grep '^#'
# tests 664 passed 72 failed 592 -- fundamental IFS error -- 6856 tests 
expected

/bin/sh == zsh
[arekm at tarm ~]$ /bin/sh ifs.sh | grep '^#'
# tests 6856 passed 3560 failed 3296

heirloom-sh
