The 3.0 version of infrun.c talks about a bug in sh that can hit when
you have a large environment.  The suggested workaround is to kill
some environment variables using "unset env".

Right at the moment I have to reduce my environment to a couple
hundred bytes in order to avoid this problem.  I think that's a bit
silly, so I would prefer to hack sh, either to fix the bug, or to at
least allow a larger environment before triggering the bug.  Could
someone please either explain the bug to me or point me at the code to
look at?  I've got 4.3-Tahoe sources.

thanks,
