<PP>
A UNIX environment is a list of strings of the form ``name=value'', where
the ``='' character does not appear in name.
NOTE: binding the user's environment as an ML value and then exporting the
ML heap image can result in incorrect behavior, since the environment bound in the
heap image may differ from the user's environment when the exported image
is run.
