Re: bin/39466: /bin/sh: eval and redirections

 I think this bug is more serious than I thought before.

    ~>cat /home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh
    #!/bin/sh

    cat < /dev/null > /not/exist
    echo $?
    ~>/home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh        
    /home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh: cannot create /not/exist: directory nonexistent
    0
    ~>

 HINT: commands that do not need fork (built-ins, like echo, printf etc.)
 work properly.

 The patch below improves '/bin/sh -x' output.
 Demo:

     0 ~>cat /home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh 
     #!/bin/sh

     echo a
     echo b c 'd e'
     echo 'a b' c '' '"'
     echo "'"
     echo "aaa'bbb"
     0 ~>/bin/sh -x /home/cheusov/tmp/1.sh # original shell
     + echo a
     a
     + echo b c d e
     b c d e
     + echo a b c  "
     a b c  "
     + echo '
     '
     + echo aaa'bbb
     aaa'bbb

At present I am using the following workaround to ensure that all
"configure" and "Makefile" files are newer than the *.in files from
which they are generated, and similarly to ensuer that *.in files are
newer than *.ac or *.am files.

for pattern in '*.ac' '*.am' '*.in' 'configure' 'Makefile' ; do
    echo "$pattern"
    find . -name "$pattern" -exec touch \{\} \+
    sleep 1
done

State-Changed-Why:
Since you were using current at the time... does this happen with 4.0 or
recent current? (Or 3.1...)

Also, what speed machine(s) were you using? Crypto sometimes does bog down
old hardware.

State-Changed-Why:
Feedback mail bounced. Anyone tried WEP recently and want to comment? Or
do we not care about WEP? I'm also inclined to close this because the PR
doesn't say what hardware was in use and that's sort of critical...

Conclusion: we do still mostly care about WEP, but this PR doesn't say what
network card was involved so there's nothing that can be done with it. Also,
such behavior is often a hardware or link-level issue.
