You're right.  The proper fix to this is to ensure that nulonly
is not set in varvalue for $*.  It should only be set for $@ when
it's inside double quotes.

In fact there is another bug while we're playing with $@/$*.
When IFS is set to a non-whitespace character such as :, $*
outside quotes won't remove empty fields as it should.

This patch fixes both problems.

This patch fixes the parsing of newlines with parameter substitution.

This is actually composed of two bugs.  First of all our tracking
of quotemark is wrong so anything after "$@" becomes quoted.  Once
we fix that then the problem is that the first space character
after "$@" is not recognised as an IFS.

This patch fixes both.
