Variables not staying set under 4.0f?

On my 4.0d systems, I use scripts to set certain variables for our Oracles
users and the process
works fine. If I try to run the same scripts under 4.0f, they do not - here
is what happens:

User A sets certain variable in his .profile.
The .profile runs Script A which sets more variables.
        They can be verified within the script as being set correctly.
After Script A completes, User A tries to invoke one of the variables set in
Script A BUT the variable is no longer set!

Has anyone seen this anomaly before? These are std. ksh scripts that run
fine under 4.0d....
I can provide the scripts if necessary.

        Thanks in advance,
