[issue3440] Starting any program as a subprocess fails when subprocess.Popen has env argument

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

As I said, if you replace the environment it is your responsibility to
supply a working environment.  I've attached a doc patch that adds a
warning about this with the information that a valid SystemRoot is
needed to run a side-by-side assembly (whatever that is :).

If you think the doc patch is accurate I will commit it (unless Georg
objects).
