We do something like this as well.  The one thing that I have to add is
that "process-permanent" logical names (e.g, SYS$INPUT) have a 4-byte
booger prepended to their translations.  In our "getenv" replacement
routine, we snarf up the logical name translation and then say words like:

	return (*p == '\33')? p+4: p;

to get around it.  (Anybody know what that 4 bytes of stuff is?)
