Environment inheritance under Windows NT 4, Attempt 2

[Milton L. Hankins]

I suppose this could be a side-effect of the way our IT department sets up
NT.  But I shudder to think how or what really causes it.

Thanks for the response.  Unfortunately, this doesn't help.  :(  I tried
exact, all upper, and all lower case to the same result.

I've developed a workaround for posixmodule which uses getenv() under
Windows instead of direct access to environ.  It works great.  I had
really hoped others experienced this problem.  Sigh.  I will send my patch
to Guido anyway.  Maybe it will be deemed worthy. 


Fingers crossed...
