Re: Intermittent putenv() problem

Justin,

Your prototype is missing the return value.  The putenv() API returns an 
int(10) value.  Since this is missing, the results of calling this will 
be "unpredictable", which might be the cause of your woes.

There shouldn't be any need to run RMVENVVAR, putenv() will replace the 
previous value.
