nathanw f60f35f3ab Don't acquire __environ_lock around exec*() calls; nothing requires
that these calls be thread-safe with respect to the environment, and it
causes serious problems for threaded applications which call vfork() and
exec*() (including indirectly, via popen() or system()).

Acquire and release __environ_lock in the parent in popen() and system() to
play safe and provide the child with a stable environment.

__environ_lock should also have an atfork() handler; still under development.
