+Finds calls to the ``putenv`` function which pass a pointer to a
stack-allocated
+(automatic) array as the argument. Function ``putenv`` does not copy the passed
+string, only a pointer to the data is stored and this data can be read even by
+other threads. Content of a stack-allocated array is likely to be overwritten
+after returning from the parent function.

This text was not accurate, probably even better is "after exiting from the
function" (the "parent function" was meant to be the parent of the allocated
stack memory).
