I think we've discussed this before, but for reference: it can crash if a secondary thread is calling getenv(), and getenv() is used everywhere. setenv/unsetenv is really, really dangerous. It's impossible to use safely in WebProcessPoolGtk.cpp because applications can create new WebKitWebContext objects after creating secondary threads.
