Interesting, thanks! I thought I tried that, but I guess my memory is just poor. I'll have to do some experimenting to say for certain. By the way, I suggest applying a patch to the NetBSD package [1]. It prevents 'env' and 'printenv' from quoting when redirected. We made the change thinking it was safe, but evidently we missed some invocations where it caused problems.
