Well, except that when this happens from within Tcl it appears to completely
violate Tcl's semantics about variables:
set env(CLASSPATH) ""
puts $env(CLASSPATH)
gives an error!!!!!
While this may be a _peculiarity_ of Windows, I think Tcl needs to be coded
to avoid this, not to label it as a bug...
