How do you pass your unicode env? Do you set the CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT flag? > Also, if I pass environment variables other than PATH, they are set > properly when the child executes.

Is your environment big (> 32K)? Up to 1.5.25 the environment is fetched using GetEnvironmentStringsA, which has a bug in (at least) Windows XP which results in a truncated environment in the child. And it's not truncated to 32K, but much less from my testing. Something along the lines of sizeof (child_env) == sizeof (parent_env) % 32K. Other than that, I have no idea. PATH is taken from the parent like any other env var. Are you *sure* there's not some bug in your app?
