Subject: [PATCH] slim down and avoid undefined behavior in unsetenv
Implementation of unsetenv used to invoke (a benign) undefined
behavior by using pointer value that was passed to free() in
comparisons against NULL in two loops that would remove that pointer
from __env_map and __environ arrays.
Factor out handling of __env_map into a separate function __env_free
and move it to putenv.c, allowing to make __env_map private to that
file. Do not attempt to preserve order in __env_map when removing the
entry (it is not important).

Thanks -- here's a patch.
