Thanks. That pinpointed the problem it will be fixed in the next release.
Ordinarily I'd say "try a snapshot" but apparently I've destabilized things
a bit in snapshot land so I wouldn't recommend using a snapshot right now.

#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
setenv("TERM", "ansi", 1);
/* ... blah, blah, ... */
printf("TERM is: %s\n", getenv("TERM")); /* prints "ansi" as expected */
int i = fork();
if (i < 0)
printf("Bad Business...");
else if ( i > 0 )
printf("parent TERM is: %s\n", getenv("TERM"));
else
printf("child TERM is: %s\n", getenv("TERM"));
}
C:\dl>a.exe
TERM is: ansi
parent TERM is: ansi
child TERM is: cygwin
C:\dl>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ./a.exe
TERM is: ansi
parent TERM is: ansi
child TERM is: ansi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $
Not sure why it would give different results from cmd.exe and from bash.
cygcheck -s output attached, but it's a windows 2000 machine with sp 4,
cygwin 1.5.12, gcc 3.3.3.

Provide a simple test case, that is compilable and linkable so that
we can investigate your claim.
