Description rong li CLA 2011-11-01 05:27:30 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

In this patch, it includes the fix for an environment variable pollution issues.

In the embeded agent mode, the agent will package its environment variables "extern char **environ;" and send them to its children.
When the children received the environment variables, it parsed them and set the same value into its own env. It will bring issues.
So right now, in the parent(agent), it will only package the necessary environment variables and send them to its children. It should not pass all its env.

Reproducible: Always
