CVS commit: src/lib/libc/stdlib

["Matthias Scheler" <tron%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   tron
Date:           Tue Nov 16 17:23:10 UTC 2010

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libc/stdlib: _env.c

Log Message:
Implement mark & sweep garbage collection as suggested by Enami Tsugutomo
on "current-users" mailing list. Garbage collection is performed if:
1.) We previously allocated memory for the environment array which
    is no longer used because the application overwrote "environ".
2.) We find a non-NULL pointer in the allocated environment array after
    the end of the environment. This happens if the applications attempts
    to clear the environment with something like "environ[0] = NULL;".
