Last time I checked, FreeBSD didn't even support robust process shared mutexes.
What OS revision is required for this to be supported?

It seems to me that doing what this test program is doing is a misuse of the
API, you should only ever open an environment once in any particular process.
Closing it and then opening it again makes no sense.
