Bash Version: 2.05a
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
        Well, easy description, the following doesn't work:

        echo "echo hello-world" > /tmp/bashenv.sh
        chmod 755 /tmp/bashenv
        BASH_ENV=/tmp/bashenv.sh bash

        But it should, as stated in the man page:

        --- begin of citation
        Bash behaves as  if  the  following  command
        were executed:
              if [ -n "$BASH_ENV" ]; then . "$BASH_ENV"; fi
        --- end of citation

Repeat-By:
        See above.

Fix:
        Hum, I know fixes are encouraged, but...
        For your information, the same commands work perfectly
        with sh:

        ENV=/tmp/bashenv.sh sh

        says "hello-world".

Thank you and HNY.
