AIX reading /etc/environment out of step.

[mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org]

I was discussing with Don about a private topic..and while skimming the
code I noticed that during a 'ssh mouring at site ls'  the /etc/environment
is *ONLY* read if the remote machine is an AIX box.  This is undocumented
and I'm wondering if someone using AIX could explain WHY it exists in the
session.c:do_child()?  No other OS has this.  I don't see why AIX should
require it.

Can someone JUSTIFY this to me the fact we are going against our own
documentation for a single platform?
