I appreciate the links and information. I prematurely assumed it was a bug
as I am used to the behavior of sh on NetBSD which does not require
enclosing positional parameters. I believe it is adequately expressed in the

Hi,
I'm using a bash script (bash 4.1) to parse debian package indices (kind

That's about 300.000 hash array elements for Debian sid's "Sources"
index file. Unfortunately performance doesn't scale
