Hi,

I'm running into a funny behavior with bash. Do I report this as a bug?
------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/bash

a=0;
echo "oneline" > line
cat line | while read var
do
        a=1;
        break
done

echo $a
------------------------------------

The o/p for above should be 1, but it's zero. Moreover modifying to
below still yields same result.

-----------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/bash

a=0;
echo "oneline" > line
cat line | while read var
do
        a=1;export a;
        break
done

echo $a
------------------------------------

The o/p remains 0 and not 1.

I'm on SX b75.
