I'm running Debian/testing, and see that about half the contents of /lib
was changed when I updated in mid-September (file dates are a month
earlier, but ctimes show me when the files got there). I'd expect
environment-variable tinkering to be done in libc.

generally I use tcsh (and set my path in .cshrc). Aside from (a few years
ago) noticing that shared libraries in /usr/local/lib wouldn't get loaded
nicely (because of the environment-variable trimming), I haven't seen any
recent changes that would add variables to be trimmed.
A quick check (now that I'm home) with
xterm -e sh
or
SHELL=/bin/sh xterm
doesn't show a loss of variables. So perhaps that's not the problem.
I'm not sure what is.

I think that's Branden Robinson - who'll be reading this (soon, perhaps).
