I've put in a couple of fixes.

char *szLang="system"; can put the string "system" in read-only
  memory. It could also be overwritten with longer strings. I don't
  think this was the problem

putenv(char *envstring) under glibc puts the actual pointer envstring
into the environment, so it can not be a local variable. Under FreeBSD
and Solaris, a copy of envstring is put in the environment, under
Linux the environment variable disappears and is replaced with junk.

I don't know if this is the cause, but I've committed a fix.
