Subject:	who is setting the NAME variable in bash?

I'm running bash 3.0-11.  I've just noticed for the first time that
the NAME environment variable is set (to the same value as USER). This
is breaking one of my Makefiles.

Of course I can work around that, but what's bothering me is that I
can't figure out why or where NAME is being set.  I've grepped for
NAME through all of my bash startup files and everything in /etc, and
I can't find it.  It's not mentioned in the bash man page.  Also NAME
isn't set on my Linux box at home, which also runs bash 3.0.

Any suggestions for how I can figure out who's setting NAME?  I want
to make them stop.

Thanks,
Andrew.
