Description:

The script to start inputattach (/etc/rc.d/inputattach) does not parse the options in the IAPARAMS array correctly: the script currently starts one inputattach instance for every "word" (meaning whitespace separated sequence) in the array instead of one instance for every element.

IOW, with the simple inputattach configuration

IAPARAMS=(
"--mouseman /dev/ttyS0"
)

the /etc/rc.d/inputattach script calls inputattach twice. Once with only the '--mouseman' option, and once with only '/dev/ttyS0'.
Well, actually only the first call is done, which fails with the error message "inputattach: must specify device", after that the script exits.

For a quite simple fix see attached patch
