Comment:

 Something like this: https://github.com/Yawning/tor/compare/feature15471

 It changes the no environment provided semantics to provide an empty env
 var list (Switched from `execvp` to `execve`), but nothing currently calls
 the routine in that manner as far as I can tell (the only consumer of
 background processes launched by tor is the managed pt code).
