Yes and no. My example wasn't clear and I'm the one that got confuse.  I had modify Environment() ( as found in 
pidin_proc.c ) to return one big string instead of going to stdout.  I was trying to parse that string which separated 
the variables with spaces and not '\0', making it impossible to parse reliably.

I just realize that Environment() is getting each variable one by one.

Sorry about that.

Mario - it's basically just reading /proc/pid/as across the network - is it simply that pidin env is doing it 
inefficiently?
