Follow-up Comment #5, bug #19374 (project findutils):
Indeed, the patches don't work because they miss a critical unquoted variable,
"arg".
The following patch should work:
-val=`echo $arg|sed 's/^[^=]*=\(.*\)/\1/'` || exit 71
+val=`echo "$arg"|sed 's/^[^=]*=\(.*\)/\1/'` || exit 71
[...]
- for p in $PRUNEPATHS; do
+ for p in "$PRUNEPATHS"; do
[...]
- PRUNEREGEX=`echo $PRUNEPATHS|sed -e 's,^,\\\(^,' -e 's, ,$\\\)\\\|\\\(^,g'
-e 's,$,$\\\),'`
+ PRUNEREGEX=`echo "$PRUNEPATHS"|sed -e 's,^,\\\(^,' -e 's,
,$\\\)\\\|\\\(^,g' -e 's,$,$\\\),'`
