This only occurs on CentOS 4.x.  I've done some debugging in the code, but I 
cannot find exactly where the exception is coming from.  It occurring somewhere 
inside this function in sbuild-auth.cc:

 void
auth::set_environment (environment const& environment)
{
  this->user_environment = environment;  <---exception is thrown during this 
operation
}

I realize this is not Debian, but I would really appreciate any pointers or 
workarounds to get this working in CentOS 4.x.  I am trying to build and 
support schroot in a diverse development environment.  
Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, CentOS 5.x all work fine, but CentOS 4.x is 
having this one issue.
