shell inserts spurious newline after backquote expansion

I came across a very strange sh bug today.

The attachment is a reduced case (original a configure script). If you run it, sh will create a file "o". The bug is that sh will insert a newline where it should not appear.

I tracked it down to commit 0c6fe0fc88 [1], but I am not convinced that it actually introduced the bug. If you change MINSIZE to any other value, the bug at hand does not show anymore. That's why I think that this commit simply uncovered an existing bug.

Anybody have some clue what is going on?

cheers
  simon
