XXX=1
6.x & 4.x ...
% sh -c 'XXX=1 LD_PRELOAD=$(pwd)/sl.so pe'
C
In 6.x and earlier (fedora 16, too), the unsetenv clears the XXX env
var apparently in time to affect the exec'd process. In 8.x & 9.x, it
seems the environment is set and passed to the exec'd process and the
LD_PRELOADed code does not affect that despite its best efforts.
It seems to me that 6.x behavior is more correct, but I'm seeking
opinions before contemplating if / how to put together a fix.
