^Triage: bug 79067 was fixed in 2009 with
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/f19a2f6c574ce3dc437d9998a879ad65e8666c5d>
so let's close here, as overcome by events. 

If necessary, please reopen or make a new report. Thanks.

f19a2f6c574c Fix some weirdnesses in the NetBSD IFS code, in particular
"$@"$ifschar if the final positional parameter is empty. With the NetBSD code,
adding the $ifschar removes a parameter.
