54  * For performance and consistency reasons we expand the environ list using
55  * the trusted "power of two, drop it on the floor" method. This allows for
56  * a lockless, single pass implementation of getenv(), yet the memory leak
57  * is bounded - in normal circumstances total wastage is never greater than
58  * 3x the space needed to hold any environ list.
59  *
60  * The only abnormal circumstance is if an application modifies the environ
61  * list pointer directly. Such an application does not conform to POSIX.1
62  * 2001. However, we also care about standards which did not foresee this
63  * issue. For this reason we keep a working copy of our notion of environ in
64  * my_environ. If, when we are called upon to modify environ, we ever detect
65  * a mismatch between environ and my_environ we discard all our assumptions
66  * concerning the location and size of the environ list. As an additional
67  * precaution we only ever update environ once we have finished manipulating
68  * our working copy.
69  *
70  * The setenv() API is inherently leaky but we are completely at the mercy
71  * of the application.
72  *
73  * To pacify leak detectors we chain all allocations which are at risk of
74  * being leaked in either of the above two scenarios. chunk_list must only
75  * be updated under the protection of update_lock.
76  *
77  * Although we don't allocate the original environ list it is likely that
78  * we will leak this too. Accordingly, we create a reference in initenv().
79  * However, we can't be held responsible for such leaks in abnormal (see
80  * above) circumstances.
