Me too.  I've never met a command name with an "=" in it.

How else do you throw away your environment, to make sure that
daemons that you start with sudo don't do anything silly?

I'm pretty sure that I copied this /etc/start_if.ed0 from
somewhere, rather than making it up:

env - PATH=$PATH dhclient ed0

It's also quite commonly used in /usr/local/etc/rc.d scripts,
including qmail and courier-imap.
