Update.

1998-09-13 14:53  Tim Waugh  <tim@cyberelk.demon.co.uk>

	* posix/wordexp-test.c: Field-splitting ':abc:' with IFS=: should
	yield three fields, not two.  Test both parameter expansion and
	command substitution for correct field-splitting behaviour.

	* posix/wordexp.c (w_emptyword): New function.
	(parse_param): Use it.
	(exec_comm): Likewise, for consistency with the way parse_param
	splits fields.
	(parse_param): Fix some memory leaks.
