Summary: os.environ.has_key fails with lower case

Initial Comment:
This looks a bit like #210690. When setting an environ 
variable for a child process on windows has_key will 
let me down if the environ key is lower case
(on win NT and Windows 2k) python 1.5.2.

Let me show an example:
C:\>python
Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32

Amsterdam
>>> import os
>>> os.environ['BLAH'] = "blah blah blah"
>>> os.environ['blah1'] = "blah blah blah"
>>> os.environ['BLAH']
'blah blah blah'
>>> os.environ['blah1']
'blah blah blah'
>>> os.environ.has_key("BLAH")
1
>>> os.environ.has_key("blah1")
0
>>>

Thanks; this is a known bug in 1.5.2 that has been fixed in 
2.0 and later versions.  I suggest that you upgrade!
