Yes, its not working as described. The following works correctly:

main()	{
	char *xy;
	putenv("test=xy\n"); /* note the \n ! */
	xy = getenv("test");
	printf("test: %s\n",xy);
	}

BTW: Anybody has an idea how to implement private environment variables?
I want to system() another program that inherits stdin and stdout and also
uses the same environment has the calling program. Hints welcome!
