--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is caused by use of a static array to store
environment-string pointers.  When the routine is called by multiple
threads concurrently, the pointers from one thread can overwrite those
from another.

The solution is to use an ordinary automatic array instead of a static
array.
