There are so many better ways to do IPC that this hacky and dangerous getenv/setenv setup is never necessary.

I mean what kind of threading library doesn't have shared memory or message passing?

I'm guessing this mostly happens in situations where the main process can change variables like HTTPS_PROXY and a different thread is running a library that checks those variables before firing up a TCP socket.
