Comment (by mankoff):

 OK. This bug is related to OS X "SIP" and is discussed, for example, in
 these two threads:

 1) http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Mac-El-Capitan-and-GRASS-
 td5230885.html and

 2) https://www.mail-archive.com/grass-user@lists.osgeo.org/msg31571.html

 For some reason, all of this "security" can easily be bypassed if the
 GRASS startup script does not explicitly block `export` statements as in
 the attached patch.
