as if you didn't know zctl was broken...
What were you trying to do?
set my Zephyr signature to a string containing double quotes
What's wrong:
zctl will just ignore matched double quotes (both from command
line options and "zctl:" prompt mode) given to "zctl set".
doing
zctl set zwrite-signature \"
will reproducibly dump core.
This occurs on RTs and DEC3100s running 7.4G and 7.4H.
What should have happened:
it should NOT do weird things with double quotes.
(it should also NOT clobber symlinks for .zephyr.{vars,subs})
