short changing by ash

You may be interested in the following differences in behaviour
between bash and (a)sh. ash comes up with one character less.

Cheers

Don Sharp

    bash-2.02$ ash
    $ v=a123/b123.mak
    $ a=${v%%/*}
    $ echo $a
    a12
    $ exit
    bash-2.02$ v=a123/b123.mak
    bash-2.02$ a=${v%%/*}
    bash-2.02$ echo $a
    a123
