No, the kernel mechanism is ok, env is broken only when used in a line 
like that (it works fine from shell cli and in scripts). I wrote a 
replacement in C (simplified), and it is supplied with the correct args 
by the shell script exec mechanism. This fixed my problem for now but I 
would like to know I can rely on /usr/bin/env to find programs for me.
