we're pretty far away from rc.conf bugs here, but all of these tests
demonstrate proper functionality of a POSIX shell.

per the shell man page, assignment prior to a simple command exposes the
assigned variable to the simple command's environment. what your example
above is actually doing, is the following:
assign 'ddd#' to the environment variable 'dddd'
exec ddd (does not exist)
when you get to the echo, dddd is equal to the value "", not the value
exposed to ddd's environment. for a useful use of this feature:
$ sh -c 'foo=3Dbar python -c "import os; print os.environ[\"foo\"];"'
bar
relevant snippet from the man page and POSIX spec at the bottom of this
message.

> #Despite on "Test 2" SUCCESS this "Test 9" FAIL
> echo "Test 9"
> dddd=3D""
> dddd=3D"ddd"#! ddd
> echo $dddd
>
this does exactly the same as case 7, excepting the value 'ddd#!' is
assigned to dddd in ddd's environment prior to executing ddd.
sh -c 'foo=3D"bar"#!; echo "$foo"'
bar#!

the rest of the examples are variations on the same theme.

Simple Commands
If a simple command has been recognized, the shell performs the
following
actions:
1. Leading words of the form ``name=3Dvalue'' are stripped off and
assigned to the environment of the simple command. Redirection
operators and their arguments (as described below) are stripped
off
and saved for processing.
