I looked at the entire history of that code. This algorithm dates back
to 1996.
I think the issue is that environ may include the Zope process
environment variables, such as PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CVSROOT, USER,
etc. Publish.publish_module() appears to pass in os.environ . That's
just a quick analysis, though.
