I've seen a couple of people complain about 'export foo=bar' causing
problems in our implementation of sh. I haven't looked at why it's a
problem but if it's any comfort, yes, it seems to be a bug. I've gotten
into the habit of using 'foo=bar; export foo' when using sh anyway since
it's more portable.
