FBSD 4.5

question: why does this work ...

      burncd      -f /dev/cdrom -s 4 data /tmp/cd9660.iso

and this crash?

x=""; burncd "$x" -f /dev/cdrom -s 4 data /tmp/cd9660.iso
burncd: no data format selected: Undefined error: 0

i can't tell if it's sh parsing problem, or a burncd problem.
(i wanted to use "$x" to hold the possible "dummy write" option)

i am guessing the sh is passing a null argument to burncd
(i am not sure if sh should do that ...), and burncd is
crashing on it cuz it doesn't use getopt()
and isn't parsing well?

i notice burncd is very specific about
the order of it's options.

thank you.
please Cc off list.
