It seems to work here, on a 4.7-PRERELEASE: [roam@straylight:p2 ~]$ sh [\u@\h:p2 \w]\$ x=123 [\u@\h:p2 \w]\$ echo $x 123 [\u@\h:p2 \w]\$ set | grep ^x x=123 [\u@\h:p2 \w]\$ exit [roam@straylight:p2 ~]$ Can you try one of the FreeBSD 4.7 release candidates, available on the FreeBSD FTP and WWW mirrors, and see if you can reproduce the problem there?
