This is a reasonable question and I could be persuaded that our getenv() 
implementation should not set errno (even though it has for twenty years).  If 
anyone knows about whether the standard changed at some point or whether 
setting errno was common for getenv() before it was standardized not to, that 
would be helpful.

Everything else in your post simply ignores the documentation and the 
explanations I've already given you.  I don't really have anything to add.
