This patch works for me. While it's not as elegant as I would
have liked (but I tend to be anal), I haven't been able to come up
with a better solution.
Theoretically, this patch might change the behavior of /bin/sh
if you ever wound up with a tree of the form
NAND
/ \
NSEMI stmt
/ \
stmt stmt
but this can't happen, can it?
