Running RELENG-2.2 as of a few days ago. Just noticed that /bin/sh is executing the ENV file even when invoked with the -c option. Is this a bug or a feature? :-) (Executing the ENV file in calls to system(3) or popen(3) could be considered a Bad Thing, even in non-suid programs, and the last system I used where system and popen invoked a Posix shell specifically disabled the ENV file if the -c option was used.) -- Andrew.
