This is a known issue of some shells. http://code.dogmap.org/lintsh/ : > "var=value command", if it the command is a shell function or one of certain builtins, may leave the variable set after the command completes (pdksh, Solaris sh), or may revert it to its previous state for subsequent commands (bash).
