Hi,

Consider the following script:

#test 
echo parameter $1

which is called by this script:

# testparam
echo testparam $1
.  test param1

Notice the dot in front of the call of script test.
If you run the last script, say testparam 123
then you will see:
testparam 123
parameter 123

instead of:
testparam 123
parameter param1

I would say that this is a bug.

With regards,
