Yeah, I know this guy! Andreas Schwab sent a huge patch IIRC :)

Agreed. Nevertheless this is the first shell that triggers the
problem, while it's been in Autoconf since quite a while now.

Why not. That's hacky, but that's a way out :)

I meant still keeping a for-echo loop, but using `read' outside.
