Yup; UNIX shells have traditionally used the 8th bit internally for
quoting, and strip it off before passing arguments. AT&T fixed the
Bourne shell in S5R3, and that version of the Bourne shell is the basis
of the one in SunOS 4.x. Sun fixed the C shell in SunOS 4.1, and that
version of the C shell is the basis of the one in S5R4.
