Note: I don't have Windows at home to test my patch on Windows. At least, the patch works correctly on Ubuntu Gutsy/i386. Example to demonstrate the issue: $ env -i a=a b=$(echo -e '--\xff--') c=c ./python -c "import os; os.execvp('/usr/bin/env', ['/usr/bin/env'])" a=a b=--�-- c=c Patched Python: $ env -i a=a b=$(echo -e '--\xff--') c=c ./python -c "import os; os.execvp('/usr/bin/env', ['/usr/bin/env'])" a=a c=c I tested Python 2.5: b is also removed, but Python 2.6 keeps the variable b.

least, the patch works correctly on Ubuntu Gutsy/i386.

Example to demonstrate the issue:
$ env -i a=a b=$(echo -e '--\xff--') c=c ./python -c "import os; 
os.execvp('/usr/bin/env', ['/usr/bin/env'])"
a=a
b=--�--
c=c

Patched Python:
$ env -i a=a b=$(echo -e '--\xff--') c=c ./python -c "import os; 
os.execvp('/usr/bin/env', ['/usr/bin/env'])"
a=a
c=c

I tested Python 2.5: b is also removed, but Python 2.6 keeps the 
variable b.
