i've noticed this wierd problem
since 1.5 RELEASE's ...

in a users ".profile" :

export VARIABLE=value

never works. only :

VARIABLE=value; export VARIABLE

works.  even :

export VARIABLE1=value1
VARIABLE=value2; export VARIABLE2

causes neither variable to be set.
is this a bug, or is there a logical
explanation?
