Seems Charles Forsyth's bash (or wc -l) works very differently.
[r...@host ~/]# set | wc -l
49
[r...@host ~/]#
37 out of 49 are just environment variables (as contrasted to shell
variables). So the shell is using 12 variables in addition to the
environment. A 'set | wc -c' gives 2133 over half of which are from the
environment, 972 of them in TERMCAP.

well.
This is nearly as big as the shell itself in the (ahem) good old days.

No, it's very likely bigger. wc -l is lines of course, and I'm
guessing each line is more than 1 character. However,
$ set | wc -l
64
I don't quite get that locally.
