description:

according to this paper: http://www.unix.org/whitepapers/shdiffs.html

"If IFS is null, there is no separator, for example:

 $ IFS="
 $ set a b c
 $ echo "$*"
 abc
"

This does not work in ba/sh even when set -o posix is used there is also a 
testcase for that
non-posix behaviour.

note: i am working on porting the testcases to busybox ash. is anyone 
especially interested in testcases ?
