I don't think so. All those variables have their proper values when
the program is started according to the C standard. If your C
environment works otherwise, then it's obviously non-standard -- but
maybe there's some switch to enable an ANSI C mode that avoids this
peculiar behaviour (which, for efficiency's sake, surely makes sense
for certain programs that are especially written with that environment
in mind, but is not appropriate for most normal C programs)?
