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.
Given the number of years that the feature was in place (aka, "forever") I find it hard to argue that it was "astonishing."
Rather, I find it quite astonishing that so many Linux distros did precisely what it has always been recommended NOT to do, 'ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh'. I do not find the fact that they are now being bitten in the ascii by this mistake at all astonishing. In fact I'm rather enjoying it. :)
