We came to more or less the same conclusion.  With your $*" fixed,
the test "works" as before, with the same definition of "works",
because without your patch the file ends with <HT>EOF<LF> and with
your original $*<LF><HT>" the file ends with <HT>EOF<LF> with these
extra <LF><HT> appended, which was what made me notice, and with $*"
the file ends with the same <HT>EOF<LF> as before.

I've queued a fix for the original test on ta/config-set and also
amended your $*".

Yup, it smells somewhat mis-feature-ish, doesn't it?

Anyway, you do not need to respond to this message in a hurry.

Enjoy your dinner ;-)
