I presume that you are the Wooledge who hosts the BashFAQ.
If so, thanks for hosting that. It's a huge help. :)

Greetings:
I discovered today that the GROUPS variable is special in Bash.
I moved some scripts to a new box, and they stopped working. On this
box, /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash instead instead of /bin/dash.
Scripts of of this form...
#!/bin/sh
GROUPS='foo bar'
# do something with $GROUPS

Hello,
I have some more info. I tried with versions: 5.0.018 and 4.4.012 and I get
the same behavior.
Also, I'm installing Bash with depothelper (
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/search?term=bash&Search=Search).
Best wishes,
Gyorgy
