Subject:    [BusyBox] bug#1022: busybox cut requires whitespace between argument identifier and argument   data

Package: busybox
Version: 0.46
Severity: normal

When I use cut as follows I get a "Syntax Error" message:
        echo "this and that" | cut -d\  -f1

When I use cut as follows it works (notice the intervening whitespace
within "\d  \  " and "-f  1"):
        "echo "this and that" | cut -d  \   -f  1

The GNU version of cut recognizes both methods.

I am using OL 2.3 and glibc-2.1.2-3
