I have a weird failure with backtick after upgrade, with this execline
script (we're building with multicall, if that's relevant):
#!/usr/bin/execlineb -P
backtick -E A_LONGISH_NAME { s6-echo foo }
It fails with:
multisubstitute: usage: see
http://skarnet.org/software/execline/multisubstitute.html
if you make the variable name one character longer it fails differently:
backtick: fatal: unable to exec awn a block as your loop body?: No
such file or directory
