wrecked environmental variable found

[Lex]

Hi, I'm running knoppix from CD without any cheat codes. I am testing it in a VMWare virtual machine but it shouldn't matter in my case.

the following is about KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-DE

Once KDE is loaded I press the shell button and type "set" and press the enter button. This gives me a list of actual shell's environmental variables, which is in my case really long so I am using "set > output" instead (you can try it yourself too ;)). What I see is that the variable named "_" (underline) looks like a piece of script which probably should not be a env. variable so I think there is a little bug somewhere.

I have experienced this with other KNOPPIX builds too.

Here is the beginning of the output of 09_24:
