Larry's and Brandon's analysis sounds brilliant to me. What is the value of IFS on the problem system? Since IFS normally contains whitespace characters, maybe a good way to see what's in it is to feed it to hexdump, by running:<br>
<br>
<br>
echo -n "$IFS" | hexdump<br>
<br>
<br>
Here's what I get on my system:<br>
<br>
<br>
$ echo -n "$IFS" | hexdump<br>
0000000 20 09 0a<br>
0000003<br>
<br>
<br>
...showing that on my system IFS contains the three characters space (character 20), tab (character 09) and newline (character 0a). What do you get?<br>
