Which shell are you using? I can't reproduce this, and SuSv3 makes it clear that the above should not occur: "Unsetting a variable or function that was not previously set shall not be considered an error and does not cause the shell to abort." (bash will error if the variable is read-only, but it clearly isn't in the above). Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
