env variables with spaces

I'm running into an annoying problem. I'm taking the output from 'env'
and dumping it to a file (/tmp/env.out), and then running 'source
/tmp/env.out'. The problem is that some of the variables in env output
have values assigned to them with spaces, such as:
FOO=release debug
When source hits this, it gets confused and assumes that the ' debug'
portion is something separate from the value of FOO, and barfs:
bash: release: command not found
Anyone have any suggestions how to get around this? thanks
