Hey Tycho,

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is, but I dont' like
having an ephemeral pastebin link in the changelog.  Can you just stick
the test program in the commit msg?

Quoting Tycho Andersen (tycho.andersen at canonical.com):
> It turns out clobbering the environ kernel stack does actually affect the
> kernel environment (viz [1]), regardless of what previous behavior or man
> pages said. For the 1.1 series, we should simply not try to clobber
> proctitles.
