This is more or less what my own Avahi does as well. But it's really broken as it breaks /proc/$PID/environ and suchlike. And it doesn't work at all if the env block passed to you is too small.

It's a hack, nothing more. And what we have been asking for is a nicer solution, that isn't just a hack.
