	4-STABLE

>Description:

	/bin/sh in 4-STABLE *will* coredump if it gets certain 8 bit chars
        in either shell words or in here-documents. The main offender is
        0x82/\0202/130.

>How-To-Repeat:
       printf "echo \202" > tmpfile
       sh tmpfile
	
>Fix:

	only fix is currently in 5-CURRENT. not merged to 4-STABLE yet.
        That fix is regarded as sub-optimal according to correspondence
        in the freebsd-current mailing lists (see freebsd-current July 28,2000)
