neither did i.  the solution was to either change
the environment or be conservative on how much of
the environment you burnt up with functions.

personally, i've never run into environment/NCARGS
problems, but i've seen shell scripts that have,
written by idiots.

i used to use rc and before that i hacked 8th ed
stuff into the svr2 shell.  after getting used to
8th ed shell i couldn't live without history,
whatis, builtin or exportable functions.  i had
the code, so i coded the it.  it's not hard.
