bug#1541: 23.0.60; Emacs don't see $PATH

[Dmitry Galinsky]

Emacs don't see $PATH environment variable.

Step to reproduce bug:

(setenv "PATH" (concat "/opt/local/bin:" (getenv "PATH")))
(getenv "PATH") ;; => "/opt/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
(shell-command-to-string "which git") ;; > /opt/local/bin/git
(git-status) ;; produced the error

backtrace:
  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Searching for program"  
"No such file or directory" "git")
  call-process("git" nil t nil "rev-parse" "--show-cdup")
