===============
According to POSIX/SUS issue 7, assignments for special builtins
should persist. So the output should be ``bar''.
Is there a setting I should turn off (or need to enable), to
make this work correctly?
I was able to confirm this bug for version 4.2.37(1)-release as
well. (zsh 4.3.17 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) has the same bug.)
