How can I tell what the maximum size of a processes environment is?
I've had a cursory grep through /usr/include and haven't been able to
spot anything.

Reason I ask is that I appear to have such a large collection of
environment variables inside my zsh, that the new ones aren't
appearing.  And the large ones that get modified (like PATH) appear to
be disappearing.  If I comment out a few of my lesser used ones, then
all is well, I get a PATH variable back in my subshells.
