If I am correct, then opening a new shell does the same. So I just
created a new screen (ctrl-a c) in screen (a port). I thougth that would
give me a full shell with the new values. I did try it a couple of times
before finding this very strainge. Then i mailed and then I thougth
about doeing it the hard way (closing all my screens, logout, login,
start screen again.) But it could be that i've done something.

P.S. Tanks to all who helped me.
