from SH(1)
"Note that unlike some other shells, sh executes each process in a pipe-
line with more than one command in a subshell environment and as a
child
of the sh process."
I'm taking this to mean that redirecting to sh_f has sh_f execute in a
subshell in which global_scope_var changes, but the original shell's copy
is uncahnged.
