That this isn't needed with some dash versions may be relevant
information, but it doesn't mean the patch is wrong. The patch is only
wrong, and this is only a dash bug, if POSIX *requires* the implicit exec
in this case, rather than it being an optimization, and I didn't see such
a requirement in a quick check - if there is such a requirement, what /
where is the wording?
