           Summary: values returned by getenv() are not persistent!
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.40.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-msvcrt
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dmda(a)yandex.ru


some applications, including php.exe/php-cgi.exe rely on persistence of the 
environment variable values returned by getenv(). In other words, if I set 
str=getenv("OS"), it is expected to remain pointing to "Windows_NT" if I 
change any other variables in the environment, add new one or remove any 
other, except "OS" itself.
With WINE something happens to _environ and it reallocates _all_ the variables 
if only one is changed with _putenv.
Unfortunately, I could not replicate it in a simple application I created, but 
in the real one (php-cgi.exe) I added some print statements and got an 
evidence that all the variables are re-allocated at once.

Code:
char **sstr, *str;
	sstr = _environ;
	while (1) {
		str = *sstr;
		if (!str) break;
		printf("%p %s\n", str, str);
		sstr++;
	}
_sapi_cgibin_putenv("ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME", orig_script_filename); // it calls 
_putenv("ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME=blah blah blah")
	sstr = _environ;
	while (1) {
		str = *sstr;
		if (!str) break;
		printf("%p %s\n", str, str);
		sstr++;
	}
