BASH PATCH REPORT
=================
Bash-Release: 3.1.5
Bug-Description:
Lines like
g31:bash-3.0 > x=`echo A B C | sed 's/ /\\
> /g'`
g31:bash-3.0 > echo "$x"
A
B
C
do not work with current bash 3.1.5. This breaks
scripts working with both the pdksh/ksh and the
old bash 3.0. The enclosed patch restore the old
behaviour.
