Template rendering unexpected result since Smarty 3.1.31

[noam-k]

I have some PHP code that is being tested with PHPUnit. One test in particular fails once I use Smarty version of 3.1.31 (or higher). The failing part is attached.

smarty-version-test.zip

When 'Smarty/Smarty.class.php' (in the PHP require statement) points to a smarty of version 3.1.30, the (expected) result is as follows:
nkritenberg@d-2-174:~$ php smarty-version-test.php
begin-a#b#c#d#end

But when 'Smarty/Smarty.class.php' points to a smarty of version 3.1.31 or higher, the separator is being ignored:
nkritenberg@d-2-174:~$ php smarty-version-test.php
begin-abcdend.

I tried with PHP 5 and PHP 7.

This bug is now fixed in the master branch and will later be included in 3.1.34
