Bug Description
byobu should not epxort the environment variable SED. SED is apparently read by some build systems, and having it set in the environment causes difficult to track down bugs. See https:/
I suggest using a different byobu specific variable name if it is required that you export it.
The exporting of this variable came into byobu on 2011-07-20 in revision 1532 with message:
* usr/lib/
- need to export a couple of values for use in the profile
The other potential variable that might be in a too-global namespace is 'READLINK'.
