thanks, that makes sense. the security advisory posted here did not
mention any real world examples. i agree that apache with
HostnameLookups turned on, on redhat or apple systems where /bin/sh is
bash, is a real world example.

apparently the apache team believed as i did that no shell would ever
eval() its environment variables no matter with or without input
checking. the bash team really violated the principle of least
astonishment with function inheritance.
