Description:
        TIMEFORMAT variable improperly handled

Repeat-By:
        $ TIMEFORMAT='test'; time echo aaa
        aaa
        test
        (works OK, but:)

        $ TIMEFORMAT='test' time echo aaa
        outputs something like this:
        aaa
        0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 200%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 
0maxresident)k
        0inputs+0outputs (0major+198minor)pagefaults 0swaps
        ( it seems memory leak or undocumented features of the bash...)

        $ TIMEFORMAT=1 time echo q
        -bash: time: command not found
