envvar's leaking into open()

[devzero]

hello, 

i made some observation by chance.

bash 3.2 seems to leak environment variables into open() syscalls (older bash 
2.0 does not show this behaviour)

this may not be an issue here or do not any harm - but at least opening such 
non-existing files is nonsense and it really looks like a bug to me.

regards
roland
