Shell bug - no args for sourced scripts

Sun Feb 28 23:02:00 GMT 1999

 >> If you write a script that is designed to set up variables, for
 >> sourcing in another shell, Cygwin B20.1 sh under NT4.0 ignores
 >> any parameters passed.
 >> This differs from Korn shells and bash version 2.01 under
 >> Solaris.
 >> E.g. the script "sourcing":
 >> #!/bin/sh echo "Args are: $@" ARGS="$@" export ARGS
 >> When run under Cygnus shell like so:
 >> 	. ./sourcing test
 >> demonstrates that the arguments are not seen in the sourced
 >> shell script.
 >> 	Args are:
 >> Likewise, $# is 0.
