>Environment:
System: FreeBSD mail.svzserv.kemerovo.su 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Thu Oct 11 13:22:30 NKZS 2001 sa@mail.svzserv.kemerovo.su:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MAIL i386

>Description:
	/bin/sh 'eats' some characters resulting in loss of data

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	run this script using sh -x:

	#!/bin/sh -x
	string=`printf "test\201string"`
	echo $string | hd

	You will see that a symbol '�' (dec 129, hex 0x81, oct 0201)
	is missing in echo's parameter and hd approves this.

	This also leads to impossibility for shell script to process
	a file with a name containing this symbol if it's created by
	another program.

>Fix:

	Unknown for me.
