Hello! Using cygwin 1.7.7, tclsh84 does not pass its environment to a sub-process created with exec command.
Test case: # Starting from cygwin bash command line, # record your current environment $ env | sort > env0.txt # Start tclsh84 $ tclsh84 # Execute the same command from tclsh84, exit % exec env | sort > env1.txt % exit # Compare two environments $ diff -u env0.txt env1.txt # Observe large number of environment variables not present in env1.txt. Questions: 1. Is this new to 1.7? My vague recollection is that this was not a problem in cygwin 1.5. 2. Is there a quick workaround? E.g. tclsh flag or environment variable or replacing cygwin1.dll with older version. Please CC me when replying. Best regards, Stas.
