While looking through the include files for Lattice 4.0, I noticed
that getenv is defined in stdlib.h.  Curious, I tried accessing
the environment variables set by assign, both with and without
the colon, but in each case the null string was returned.  My
program looked like this:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
	char *s;

	s = getenv("include"); /* also tried include: */
	printf ("<%s>\n",s);
}

The map file shows that getenv is 0x328 bytes.  Can anyone tell
me what's going on?
