As I look at the code in the hg reference above, I think there is a bug.
If HOME should be preserved as first, and some of these others may be
critical to proper operation, they should be preserved automatically, no
matter what the configuration says. This seems to be contrary to the
code and to the top of the page (commit comment?).

So, based on the code, I think HOME, USER, TZ should always be
preserved. Depending on system compilation (according to ifdefs), GDB,
LISTEN_PIDS and LISTEN_FDS should also be preserved. Is this what is
causing my crash? I am still experimenting.

I have three systems doing this. Two were Fedora 15 current and one
Fedora 14 current. I have upgraded F14 to F15 to help remove variability.
