Per discussion I looked at just reverting that part, but that won't
work. If we do that, the call to SetEnvironmentVariable() will not be
run, which certainly isn't right..

The problem has to be in win32env.c. I originally thought we
accidentally called the putenv function twice in this case, but that
code seems properly #ifdef:ed to MSVC.

I'm not sure I trust the crash point at all - is this compiled with
debug info enabled? It seems like a *very* strange line to crash on...

I can't spot the error right off :-( Can you try to see if it's the
putenv() or the unsetenv() that gets broken? (by making sure just one of
them get replaced)
