"Sections" sometimes does not work

[olebole]

Taken from #276 (comment) (@fakahle):

Building a file list from sections is sometimes buggy:

if ( images != "" ) {
                sections (images, option="fullname", > tmpin)
        } else {

Verifiying tmpin (below you'll find partial output from tmpin:

against ls -al *.fit in the source-directory shows, that individual lines sometimes get truncated:

Don't know, if the sections-cmd has been touched by the latest changes?

@fakahle The whole imutil subpackage is basically untouched since 2.17 (except for some documentation formatting).
Can you create a self-containing example here? I tried to create a number of copies from dev$pix and there it worked well:

ecl> imcopy dev$pix 60EDf5.5_G2-1600_GCVS5_GM____Com_00013508_V_1x1.fit
