fixed in git depot as of :

2010-05-27 	Herbert Xu	[VAR] Do not poplocalvars prematurely on regular=20
utilitie
http://git.kernel.org/?p=3Dutils/dash/dash.git;a=3Dsnapshot;h=3D1d806ac1fba=
fb867f6252e184e1be05c0829ab71;sf=3Dtgz

$ echo a b,c | ./dash -c 'IFS=3D, read a b; echo $a'
a b

however, there are a lot of change on 2010-05-27/28, the last one is :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=3Dutils/dash/dash.git;a=3Dsnapshot;h=3D0cda2e1f8d8=
222fa497f808b54a2146d60e304f5;sf=3Dtgz

how about to update dash from git since the last release is almost one=20
year old ?
