[Description Ralph Sennhauser (RETIRED) 2011-09-12 13:07:14 UTC]

Created attachment 286219 [details]
eselect module producing buggy output.

The attached testcase produce the following output on a multilib system:

#########
Usage: eselect eselect-option-test <action> <options>

Standard actions:
  help                      Display help text
  usage                     Display usage information
  version                   Display version information

Extra actions:
  set <32bit|64bit> <plugin>
                            Test is_multilib in * options
    plugin                    Handle or number in plugin list
##########

Expected:
The 32bit and 64bit option descriptions are visible as well.

That's a tricky one: 
Your is_multilib() gets called from within show_usage_message() where IFS is redefined. Therefore ${libdirs} is passed to has() not a separate words, but as a single parameter.
