>Description:
/bin/sh comments in a script will attach to an adjacent string.
An simple example follows, but they also attach in assignments, etc.
This broke 4.11 scripts, so I know sh(1) has changed since then,
but I am not qualified to state whether the current or previous
behavior is correct.
>How-To-Repeat:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'a comment follows'#comment.

$ ./script
$ a comment follows#comment.
>Fix:
Requires someone knowledgeable with /bin/sh code.
