+       init.sh: accommodate even those who specify bogus srcdir manually
+       * tests/init.sh: Normally, srcdir is guaranteed by automake and
+       configure-time tests to be sanitized, so that there is no need to
+       use "$srcdir" in Makefile rules and shell scripts.  Using $srcdir
+       (with no double quotes) suffices.  However, since tests may be
+       invoked manually, and since you may explicitly set srcdir to the
+       name of a directory containing spaces, do quote its uses here.
+       * tests/test-pread.sh: Likewise.
+       Suggested by Bruno Haible.

        test-pread.sh: avoid diagnostics for those who ignore SIGPIPE
        * tests/test-pread.sh: Write no data into the pipe, because
        test-pread actually reads none.  This avoids a diagnostic,
