While fixing this, I improved the interface to the environment
add/removal functions.  However, exactly one of the lines changed below
makes any difference to the bug whatsoever.  As I don't see why anyone
else should be less frustrated than I've been for the last couple of
hours, I'm not telling you which (unless you give up and ask).
Have fun :-).

(Assuming this does fix it, of course.  valgrind seems to think it does.)
