Build Identifier: Build id: 20110916-0149

I have a CDT project that has a couple different build configurations.  One produces a shared library and another generates an executable that runs unit test using Google Test.  In order for the unit test executable to run, the location of dll (shared library) needs to be in the PATH environment variable.  I've setup an external run configuration (see screenshots) to execute the unit tests, but it doesn't work.  You'll notice that I used an absolute path for the value I appended to the environment variable.  I had previously tried setting it using workspace_loc.  I also tried replace instead of append.  That also did not work.

So how do I know that it's not setting the path correctly?  Well, if I exit out of eclipse, manually set the PATH environment variable to include the directory in question and relaunch eclipse, the run configuration works as-expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an external run configuration that executes a program dependent on a shared library not already in the PATH environment variable
2.  Update the external run configuration to append the location of the shared library PATH environment variable
3.  Attempt to run it
