Consider tcsh or openssh, since they are portable enough they don't use dirty env tricks like untouched soft from 1970s. We can safely assume that any port from ports collection compiles either on Linux or Solaris, so must do it properly. We must not keep error made once by BSD developers (improper emulation of SysV putenv()) forever. -- http://ache.pp.ru/
