you saw the same behavior on Fedora, then I suggest the behavior originates upstream at or close the the GNU source-code level.
the behavior is documented by POSIX. Command grouping example: $ bash -c 'q=2; (q=3); echo "$q"' 2 and reference:
Execute compound-list in a subshell environment [...] Variable assignments and built-in commands that affect the environment shall not remain in effect after the list finishes.

Changes made to the subshell environment shall not affect the shell environment. [...] Additionally, each command of a multi-command pipeline is in a subshell environment

Thank you for your response. Regards, UN*X Since '85
finally i would say to stop top posting. for someone who is self declared unix for 30 years, it seems odd that you cant even run fedora, or adhere to defacto mailing list etiquette.
