tony2001: ms libc putenv function does have at least one segfault bug that we have a workaround for.  Someone needs to check a debug build of 4.3 on windows; preferably someone with MS VC 6 installed, as the libc has changed between releases.  I'd check it myself, but I only have vs.net installed, so it would be a bogus check.

Wez, here's the callstack:

Let me know if you need something else..I'm not very good with debugging under win32. :)

Not such a useful trace :-/
You should be able to link against the debug version of the libc or download the .pdb files for the release version to get more info.
I've just glanced at the putenv code in the 4.3 branch, and it doesn't have my workaround that's in the 5.x branches.

Can you try merging the two places where we have:
#if _MSC_VER >= 1300
        /* VS.Net has a bug in putenv() when setting a variable that
         * is already set; if the SetEnvironmentVariable() API call
         * fails, the Crt will double free() a string.
         * We try to avoid this by setting our own value first */
        SetEnvironmentVariable(pe.key, "bugbug");
#endif

from basic_functions.c back into the 4.3 branch, but change the "#if _MSC_VER >= 1300" into just "#if _MSC_VER", so that it is used regardless of which version of the MS compiler is being used?

Yes, that fixed it. Committed.
