At the risk of sounding ignorant, what does SUS stand for?  I
assume it is the governing document for POSIX compatibility or
the like.  Thanks,

Single Unix Specification a.k.a. Unix 98 (current version). It is asuperset of XPG (X/Open Portability Guide) that itself is superset ofPOSIX. It has a big advantage of being available online as opposed toeither XPG or POSIX :-)


P.S.  What is the latest line of thought about the Export word
splitting problem?  To fix or not to fix?

It is not bug - it complies with standards. Granted, there arecompatibility issues (both ksh and bash behave the way you desire), butso far you are the first person to note it :-) That does not mean I amopposed to "fixing" it - I just have no idea how easy (or difficult) it is.
