Maybe it would be safer to clear the environment at the beginning of sanity.sh.

This is what I have used in the past to clear out unwanted stuff 
inside of a script.

        #! /bin/sh
        for VAR in `set | /usr/bin/sed -e 's/=.*//'`; do
            case $VAR in
                PATH )          ;;
                IFS )           ;;
                SHELL )         ;;
                USER )          ;;
                PS1 )           ;;
                PS2 )           ;;
                MAILCHECK )     ;;
                OPTIND )        ;;
                * )             unset $VAR; export $VAR;;
            esac
        done
        unset VAR
        PATH=/usr/bin
        export PATH

Modify it as you see fit and put it at the beginning of sanity.sh.
