Description:

dash cannot set IFS to tab (and tab only) before read

Additional info:
* package version(s)
dash 0.5.6.1-1

* config and/or log files etc.
--

Steps to reproduce:

1. create file (testfile) with:

test1<space>test2<tab>test3

(where <space> represent ' ' and tab ' ' etc

2. run:

#!/bin/dash

cat testfile |
while IFS=' ' read col1 col2; do
echo $col1
echo $col2
done

exit 0

(posting it here will probably replace the tab with spaces)

2. it will give the output:
test1
test2 test3

instead of:
test1 test2
test3

ie. it uses the space for IFS

the same script works in earlier versions of dash.
