Summary:                    ash uses the variables in a way not visible to
printenv
Description: 
clearly ash uses the variables in a way not visible to printenv
and different to sh. the example shows that only if variables are
exported
showup with printenv.

#/* test program */
f()
{
printenv FOO
}

echo "set + function"
FOO=test f
echo "printenv"
printenv FOO

echo "exported + printenv"
export FOO=exported
printenv FOO

printenv has nothing to do with it.

Smaller testcase:

f() { true; }
echo "case 1"
FOO=test /bin/true
env | grep FOO
echo "case 2"
FOO=test f
env | grep FOO

Surprisingly, with bash 3.2 in case FOO actually remains set in
environment, as if it was an exported variable! This is strange and may be
a bash bug.

$ sh testcase2
case 1
case 2
FOO=test

$ ./busybox ash testcase2
case 1
case 2
