[Bug libc/10959] New: argz_create_sep() may create an empty entry at the end of the argz array

["lucien at haijen dot be" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Concerning argz routines.
argz_create_sep() is, as already stated, supposed to ignore empty strings or
fields. This is not the case : adding one or more delimiter characters at the
end of the string will indeed create an empty entry at the end of the argz
bytearray. argz_count() duly reports that, argz_extract() has an element which
points to an empty string, argz_stringify() lets it disappear. At least this is
confusing.
A small demo program will be forwarded as soon as I have received a bug ID.

Greetings
