This is just a side effect of how 'ptxdist print' works: If a shell variable with the given name exists, then it's value is printed. Otherwise 'make' is called to print the variable. Try 'ptxdist make /print-BASH_VERSION'. This will give the correct result. And we only use our own BASH / BASH_VERSION inside make. They are not exported anyways, so when bash starts again, we don't expect these variables to be available.
