Summary: os.environ leaks under FreeBSD and Mac OS X

Initial Comment:
If this sort if thing is documented anywhere, the putenv(3) method leaks under FreeBSD and Mac OS X (Mac OS X documents it as a bug they inherited from the FreeBSD codebase in the man page).

So don't set environment variables in a loop.
