That's a good point! I searched for the values 0x58585858 and 'X' in the
sources and added more trace output. At the moment it looks like the
function "initialize_options" in readconf.c is the culprit. It uses a
"memset(options, 'X', sizeof(* options));" right at the start. After
calling this function the "environ" is overwritten with 'X'. But I can't
see why this happens.
