shift $# inside for loop without in word... part breaks the parameter list

[oguz-ismail]

To reproduce, put the following into a file (say, foo),

for x; do
  shift $# 
  echo $x
done

and run:

$ oksh ./foo x y z
x
y
./foo

No other shell does this except mksh.

Thank for the report. This is one where I'll ask you to please confirm that the behavior is the same with the in-base ksh on OpenBSD (I suspect it is) and send an email to their bugs@ list. And I'll merge the fix from there.
