variable in while loop between ksh vs. bash

In BASH, a variable is changed in a loop, but is kept untouched when quit loop; i.e, the new value set in loop is lost.

function showme
{
   echo -n "Loop=$linecount"
   sh -c 'echo " PID=$PPID"'
}

echo "========1======="
linecount=0


showme
echo "111 222 333" | tr ' ' '\n' | while read LINE
do
  (( linecount = linecount + 1 ))
  showme
done
showme

echo "========2======="
linecount=0
showme
while read LINE
do
  (( linecount = linecount + 1 ))
  showme
done <<-EOF
  $(echo "111 222 333" | tr ' ' '\n')
EOF
showme

The execute output:

$ bash t.sh
========1=======
Loop=0 PID=2620
Loop=1 PID=2647
Loop=2 PID=2647
Loop=3 PID=2647
Loop=0 PID=2620
========2=======
Loop=0 PID=2620
Loop=1 PID=2620
Loop=2 PID=2620
Loop=3 PID=2620
Loop=3 PID=2620

the same script when execute using ksh, the output is different:

$ ksh t.sh  
========1=======
Loop=0 PID=12090
Loop=1 PID=12090
Loop=2 PID=12090
Loop=3 PID=12090
Loop=3 PID=12090
========2=======
Loop=0 PID=12090
Loop=1 PID=12090
Loop=2 PID=12090
Loop=3 PID=12090
Loop=3 PID=12090

This is because the while in BASH is loop executed in a subshell. So any changes you do for the variable will not be available once the subshell exits.
From the PID value, we can found the loop are in process, PID=2647 while script itself PID=2620

The same script in KSH environment use same PID=12090 in all cases.
