Oh, yeah, this issue.  It's coming from a patch in tcl-64 [1] which  
patches Tcl to use putenv() for handling the environment.  I filed a  
radar [2] with Apple and it was closed as a dup so they definitely  
know about it, and maybe 10.5.3 (maybe not since it's pretty close?)  
or 10.5.4 and we shouldn't have to worry about this anymore.
