tmux

Running tmux 1.4 installed from ports on snow-leopard I am unable to use the built in OSX pbcopy command.

Outside of tmux:

> echo "abc" | pbcopy
> echo pbpaste # or using ^v
abc

But inside of tmux:

> echo "123" | pbcopy
> echo pbpaste
abc

I've scoured the man page but can't find any options that might relate to this behaivor. I also can't understand why tmux would mess with shell redirection.

Anybody have any clues?
