When allocating for a Char **, it should use sizeof(Char *), not
sizeof(Char **). This doesn't actually affect the results except
on DS9000 though :-)

NFC.
Fix a bug that has existed since the "command" command was added in
2003. "command foo" would cause the definition of a function "foo"
to be lost (not freed, simply discarded) if "foo" is (in addition to
being a function) a filesystem command. The case where "foo" is
a builtin was handled.
For now, when a function exists with the same name as a filesystem
command, the latter can never appear in the command hash table, and
when used (which can only be via "command foo", just "foo" finds
the function) will always result in a full PATH search.

It is not enough to avoid displaying the contents of the directory,
we need to set FTS_SKIP to avoid descending into any subdirs too.
Otherwise, if a ".foo" directory has a subdirectory "bar", ls will
descend into bar and display its contents. From Todd Miller
`mv -h source target' just issues rename(source, target) without
discriminating on whether target resolves to a directory; this way
you can atomically replace a symlink to a directory.
would lead to a desynchronization of the protocol and further files or
directories to be ignored or corrupted.

The other BSDs all have a note reminding that many shells have their
own internal echo implementations which may vary from this utility, so
add one. (Much of the wording is borrowed from FreeBSD's man page.)
(The other BSDs also have notes about the -n option not really being
portable, and printf[1] being preferable, we might want to add
something about that, too.)
the output will not be further processed (at all) so there is no need
to escape magic chars in the output, and doing so leaves stray CTLESC
chars in the here doc text. Not good. So don't do that...
To save a strlen() of the result, to determine the size of the here doc,
make rmescapes() return the length of the resulting string (this isn't
needed for other uses, so didn't happen previously).

children happens to exit while we are waiting for another child
to exit.
This can happen with code like
sh -c '
sleep 5 &
exec sh -c "sleep 10 & wait !$"
'
when the inner "sh" is waiting for the 10 second sleep to be
done, the 5 second sleep started earlier terminates. It is
a child of our process, as the inner shell is the same process
as the outer one, but not a known child (the inner shell has no
idea what the outer one did before it started).
This was observed in the wild by Martijn Dekker (where the outer
shell was bash but that's irrelevant).

that we can always wait(2) for our children, and an ignored SIGCHLD
prevents that. Recent versions of bash can be convinced (due to a
bug most likely) to invoke us that way. Always return SIGCHLD to
SIG_DFL during init - we already prevent scripts from fiddling it.
All ash derived shells apparently have this problem (observed by
Martijn Dekker, and notified on the bash-bug list). Actual issue
diagnosed by Harald van Dijk (same list).
Mark the variable as volatile as it can be clobbered when a vfork occurs.
Error was reported when build.sh was run with MKLIBCSANITIZER=yes flag.

the Austin Group decided to require processing of "--" by the "."
and "exec" commands to solve a problem where some shells did
option processing for those commands (permitted) and others did
not (also permitted) which left no safe way to process a file
with a name beginning with "-".
This has finally made its way into what will be the next version of
the POSIX standard.
Since this shell did no option processing at all for those commands,
we need to update. This is that update.
The sole effect is that a "--" 'option' (to "." or "exec") is ignored.
This means that if you want to use "--" as the arg to one of those
commands, it needs to be given twice ". -- --". Apart from that there
should be no difference at all (though the "--" can now be used in other
situations, where we did not require it before, and still do not).
process with redirects. If we use vfork() and a redirect hangs
(eg: opening a fifo) which the parent was intended to unhang,
then the parent never gets to continue to unhang the child.
eg: mkfifo f; cat <f &; echo foo>f
The parent should not be waiting for a background process, even
just for its exec() to complete. if there are no redirects there
is (should be) nothing left that might be done that will cause any
noticeable delay, so vfork() should be safe in all other cases.
If a builtin command or function is the final command intended to be
executed, and is interrupted by a caught signal, the trap handler for
that signal was not executed - the shell simply exited (an exit trap
handler would still have been run - if there was one the handler
for the signal may have been invoked during the execution of the
exit trap handler, which, if it happened, is incorrect sequencing).
Now, if we're exiting, and there are pending signals, run their handlers
just before running the EXIT trap handler, if any.
There are almost certainly plenty more issues with traps that need
solving. Later,

(-8 is too different in this area, and this problem suitably obscure,
that we won't bother) (the -7 sh is simply obsolete).
Having traps set should not enforce a fork for the next command,
whatever that command happens to be, only for commands which would
normally fork if they weren't the last command expected to be
executed (ie: builtins and functions shouldn't be exexuted in a
sub-shell merely because a trap is set).
As it was (for example)
trap 'whatever' SIGANY; wait $anypid
was guaranteed to fail the wait, as the subshell it was executed
in could not have any children.

we plan to introduce versions of (some?) of these that use the

not make it an error, and all of the above will be re-considered
as either being "fix me" (warning still displayed) or "warning
