Cool; thanks. (Aside: I'd be happy to hear of plausible reasons the earlier approach does not appear to fail in i386. I'm suspecting some sort of compatibilty shim -- which was jettisoned for amd64, probably quite intentionally.) > Including <stdlib.h> is not necessary to access the environ variable.
