I've just built the 11/16/88 version of ksh and have noticed the following anomaly. When trying to use filename expansion on a single file an additional space is tagged on the end. This never used to happen with the 06/03/86 version. Does anyone have a fix for this?

In the last #ifdef tenex section, ' ' is appended to "out". You could also experiment with #undef tenex (it is turned on if you are making ESH or VSH), but this may get rid of other features you want.
