I think your patch doesn't fix all the cases though as it's also possible to encounter the problem if the alias consists entirely of space characters. Here is my attempt at the problem. ---8<--- Dash was incorrectly handling empty aliases. When attempting to use an empty alias with nothing else, I'm (incorrectly) prompted for more input: ``` $ alias empty='' $ empty > ``` Other shells (e.g., bash, yash) correctly handle the lone, empty alias as an empty command: ``` $ alias empty='' $ empty $ ``` The problem here is that we incorrectly enter the loop eating TNLs in readtoken(). This patch fixes it by setting checkkwd correctly.
