Do you or even possibly the OS sanitise the environment - specifically
are there any LD_* environment variables that are getting disposed of?
Some loaders will scrub LD_* variables on startup for setuid programs so
that you can't substitute your own library in and then play havoc with
your code running in a setuid environment.
