     Bug of whom/which? FreeCOM? Kernel?

     This will be right position, especially if spaces trimmed by FreeCOM.

     So this mean that author of zecho is wrong when uncopnditionally
removes first byte. But this is another question.

     "Dump decision"?! Why? I think sometime this is useful if spaces are
significant characters (as for echo), so this is/was (at least) not wrong
decision.

     "BUG"?!
