I know that, it's one of the reasons why dmalloc is currently broken on
Cygwin.
But the regular GetEnvironmentVariable does work when starting from
Windows.
I thought you wanted to fake it to read the cygwin environment
( " > GetEnvironentVariable could do the same thing. ")
That would cause me great troubles.
Strictly speaking, I only need the regular GetEnvironmentVariableA. It's OK
to
fake GetEnvironmentVariable.
