If I assigned the read-only bit to an exported var and run a new

No:

foo = one
foo = two
$ cat ./x24
echo $BASH_VERSION
foo=one
readonly foo
export foo
./bash -c 'echo foo = $foo ; foo=two ; echo foo = $foo'

overwritten now when I didn't before... some odd things happening with .bashrc
not being read @ login and not sure why, since I thought it was suppose to
be read for any interactive shell
