Subject: env vars in HEAD/proc_open() issue?
From: steph@php.net ("Steph Fox")

Hi all,

While merging ext/phar to HEAD, I found that environmental variables set in 
tests using the --ENV-- section fail to make it as far as the SAPI. Same 
with any other env var setting (e.g. my new '-x' parameter to run-tests.php 
fails too).

Over 100 'frontcontroller' and similar tests in phar fail in HEAD due to 
this (at least, I _hope_ just due to this!), so reproducing the problem is 
easy enough. I'd report it as a bug if I knew roughly where the problem lay, 
but it could be down to any of several culprits. That said, everything seems 
to be working right up to the point where proc_open() is called in 
system_with_timeout().

Can anyone on a different platform please confirm/give further clues?

Thanks,

- Steph
