Unfortunally, setenv()/unsetenv() are also unavoidable leaking on *BSD.
OTH, I did not fully understand why glibc *doesn't* leak.

So for now, we have to live with that leak, regardless of wether
using setenv()/unsetenv() or putenv(). The only workaround would be to
completely manage our own environment, which isn't funny, either (and
may break other things).
