Subject: Parameter expansion stopped working in recent ash/dash

Greetings, All!
In the attached script, that I always run using dash, the expansion is
supposed to strip leading/trailing spaces from provided parameter.
The upgrade that took place after which the expansion stopped working is
libsolv: - dash-0.5.11.5-1.any -> dash-0.5.12-1.any
Downgrading to 0.5.11.5 restored the expected behavior.
I failed to find anything relevant in the dash 0.5.12 patch notes, but perhaps
community could help?

With best regards,

#!/bin/dash -x
trim() {
# remove leading whitespace characters
__trim="${*#${*%%[![:space:]]*}}"
# remove trailing whitespace characters
printf "%s" "${__trim%${__trim##*[![:space:]]}}"
}
trim " alpha" | od -t x1a
trim "beta " | od -t x1a
trim "\rgamma " | od -t x1a
