I think I see the problem.  All those PATH_* variables that come from
epaths.h yield encoded file names (because they were written by the
shell).  But we never decode them before using them in init_callproc
and init_callproc_1.  Similar things happen with decode_env_path: it
calls 'getenv', but never decodes the values it gets from that.

I will take a crack on fixing these.
