severity 400563 wishlist retitle 400563 shell scripts not strictly POSIX conformant tags 400563 wontfix thanks
hi dilinger, as seen above, i'm lowering the severity of this for the time being, after getting a verification from some rm's via IRC that this isn't a serious issue. furthermore, the currently circulating posix/sh policy amendment includes mention of local along with "echo -n" in the additional requirements to the POSIX requirements. of course if you have $patch which gives me the features of local in a strictly POSIX environment, i'd be interested in revisiting the issue. thanks, sean
