The shell cannot override any CI variables. The shell inherits all CI
variables as copy-by-value. The shell can modify a copy of the CI var
but the modification is not seen by the CI -- not from within the shell
(as via callci) and not after the shell exits.
/etc/profile has been changed in 6.0 to not override TZ if you have
previously defined it (like in a logon UDC). However, prior to 6.0
TZ in /etc/profile is hard coded to GMT.
