Ok, I was able to repeat it myself:
foo=foo
echo $foo
{ eval `echo foo=bar`; }
echo $foo
{ eval `echo foo=baz`; } >/dev/null
echo $foo
{ eval `echo foo=quux`; } >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
echo $foo
This correctly prints "foo", "bar", "baz", "quux" on
all systems, except for SVR4 /bin/sh (tested on Solaris 9
and UnixWare 7.1.3) where it prints "foo", "bar", "bar", "bar".
Seems like brain-dead SVR4 /bin/sh behaves differently
in variable assignments if the surrounding grouping
has a shell redirection applied. Strange.
I've removed the redirection from postfix.spec's %post to avoid
the problem. It should be not necessary there anyway.
