48  * For performance and consistency reasons we expand the _environ list using
49  * the trusted "power of two, drop it on the floor" method. This allows for
50  * a lockless, single pass implementation of getenv(), yet the memory leak
51  * is bounded - in normal circumstances total wastage is never greater than
52  * 3x the space needed to hold any _environ list.
53  *
54  * The only abnormal circumstance is if an application modifies the _environ
55  * list pointer directly. Such an application does not conform to POSIX.1
56  * 2001. However, we also care about standards which did not foresee this
57  * issue. For this reason we keep a working copy of our notion of _environ in
58  * my_environ. If, when we are called upon to modify _environ, we ever detect
59  * a mismatch between _environ and my_environ we discard all our assumptions
60  * concerning the location and size of the _environ list. As an additional
61  * precaution we only ever update _environ once we have finished manipulating
62  * our working copy.
63  *
64  * The setenv() API is inherently leaky but we are completely at the mercy
65  * of the application.
66  *
67  * To pacify leak detectors we chain all allocations which are at risk of
68  * being leaked in either of the above two scenarios. chunk_list must only
69  * be updated under the protection of update_lock.
70  *
71  * Although we don't allocate the original _environ list it is likely that
72  * we will leak this too. Accordingly, we create a reference in initenv().
73  * However, we can't be held responsible for such leaks in abnormal (see
74  * above) circumstances.
