What were you trying to do?
I was trying to set environment variables, and attach
lockers using the .bash_environment file
What's wrong:
Environment variables set in .bash_environment are not
propogated to the environment, and lockers are not attached.
Here's a fix, thanks to a suggestion by Antony Donovan (and@mit.edu).
