Hello,

Argument parsing in typescript has changed. For example, when using the
arguments "-t" and "-c", a space is required where one previously was
not. In
the following command, I would expect the results of "ls -1" to be
displayed,
but I am instead brought to a new shell:

    mempass% script -tc "ls -1"
    Script started, file is ls -1
    Bash 8162 -- Sun Mar 10 11:53:45 CDT 2013
    jamese...@sinister.codevat.com
    mempass% 

However, if I add a space, this works as expected:

    mempass% script -t -c "ls -1"
    Script started, file is typescript
    0.781522 10
               mempass.py0.015227 2

    0.000016 10
               symbols.py0.000013 2

    0.000009 11
               symbols.pyc0.000011 2

    0.000009 10
               typescript0.000012 2

    Script done, file is typescript

Before I upgrading to Debian Wheezy, using "script" without adding a
space
between "-t" and "-c" worked fine. Here is an example of the previous
behaviour
on my computer that still runs Squeeze:

    jameseric@icebox:~/applications$ cat /etc/debian_version 
    6.0.5
    jameseric@icebox:~/applications$ script -tc "ls -1"
    Script started, file is typescript
    0.799954 66
               compiled
    packages
    precompiled
    proprietary
    source
    typescript
    Script done, file is typescript
