I am almost sure there are lengthy threads on Ubuntu and Debian mailing 
lists. Perhaps summaries are deeply buried. I was not interested in it, 
so I have in my notes just a couple of links related to transition to dash

It may be realistic to get the dash bug fixed in next Debian release 
even without a new dash version. Try that the patch does not break any 
tests and file Debian and Ubuntu bugs.

Perhaps I have read some discussion of shell behavior that might be 
caused by this bug.
