1.5.12: TERM environment reset to "cygwin" after fork()


Hi all,

Version: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 -- 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) -- i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

I set the TERM environment variable in my application by calling setenv(). A subsequent call to getenv("TERM") yields the expected value. However, after performing a fork(), the call to getenv("TERM") returns "cygwin". This is the case for both the parent and the child.

Any ideas?

Thanks
