wordexp has been failing one of its tests for the past few days:
Test words: <$(echo $var)>, need retval 0, wordc 2
Got retval 0, wordc 1: < abc >
where $var has previously been set to "abc". Wordc 1 seems like the
right answer to me, but neither the test nor the code has been changed
since last October. What gives?
