It is probably at least a design flaw (and a reasonably
well-documented one at that [0]). Bash on the other hand is not
vulnerable to the same class of problems:
$ cat testme
testme() {
x=backfromthedead
local x
echo $x
}
testme
$ bash testme
$ dash testme
backfromthedead
Best wishes,
Mike
[0] $ man dash
