            Bug ID: 291720
           Summary: 66eb78377bf1 causes environment corruption on some
                    machines
           Product: Base System
           Version: 16.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: cy@FreeBSD.org

66eb78377bf109af1d9e25626bf254b4369436ec corrupts the environment (i.e. getenv
environment) on four of my six machines. What the four machines have in common
is their 8 GB RAM or less (one, the firewall, has 5 GB). The 32 GB and 96 GB
machines have no problem with this.

Except for the bisection (revert locally), this is hardly a deep dive analysis
of the problem. I don't know why the smaller (RAM-wise) machines have an issue
with this commit.

The error seen is the following from /bin/sh. Multiple of,

sh: environment corrupt; missing value for 107
sh: environment corrupt; missing value for 107

or messages like it with the "107" listed as either nothing or some other
garbage. Running installworld again to revert this change causes installworld
to fail with the above error plus multiple (100 maybe) of,

cp: =>: No such file or directory

Meaning this revision cannot be reverted without making a temporary change to
Makefile.inc1 to revert this commit.
