So this is a tangent, but this is a repeatable bug.  If I call 

  printf ("fd: %s\n", egetenv ("FOO"));

from init_atimer, it always says (null).  (And "FOO" is defined.)
However, if I call egetenv later, I do get the correct value.

So is there something about (e)getenv that makes it not work during the
(early) startup of Emacs?
