    11 Bug-Description:

    12 

    13 When used in contexts where word splitting and quote removal were not

    14 performed, such as case statement word expansion, empty strings

    15 (either literal or resulting from quoted variables that were unset or

    16 null) were not expanded correctly, resulting in failure.
