Subject: Re: tclsh does not export changes to env to child process
From: Stas Maximov <stas DOT maximov AT gmail DOT com>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
X-IsSubscribed: yes

Interestingly, if environment variable FILENAME was exported when
tclsh called, the test passes. Tclsh falis to export only new env
variable. Compare two results:

$ env FILENAME=gaga tclsh test_env_export1.tcl
filename_val
filename_val
vim
vim
$ env -u FILENAME tclsh test_env_export1.tcl
filename_val

vim
vim
