RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #589378 +++

Description of problem:
The environment variables set by the "debugmode" package are not exported (at least in bash), so the only processes that receive the benefits of debug mode are interactive shells.  The variables should be exported.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
debugmode-9.02.2-1.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure the "debugmode" package is installed and enabled.
2. env | grep -e MALLOC_ -e G_SLICE

Actual results:
No output.

Expected results (example):
MALLOC_CHECK_=1
G_SLICE=debug-blocks
MALLOC_PERTURB_=141

Created an attachment (id=412323)
export environment variables in debugmode

/etc/profile.d/debug.sh: export all non-comment lines instead of sourcing /etc/sysconfig/debug

Gah, more sed mess.  Maybe the design should be fixed first (I entered bug 590063).
