Environment getting modified

[gwww]

I just installed rtx a few days ago. I noticed that my TERMCAP entries for less stopped working. It took a fair bit of sleuthing to get to this point but it appears that rtx is unsetting environment variables -- particularily the LESS_TERMCAP_* ones. They do get set again but they don't work after setting as can be seen in the image doing a man command.

I got the trace from running zsh -xl.

My question is why is rtx unsetting variables? Is there something I can do to change the behaviour? Feels like a bug to me, but I'm new here -- maybe there's a config setting I've overlooked?

EDIT: I'm running 1.25.5

Here is the relevant part of the trace...

I think this is likely a duplicate of #288

Thx. I agree. Hope my logs help a bit. I can provide more logs if that helps.

Definitely seems like an escaping problem.
