Yes, and sooner or later we'll have a security hole because a critical
environment variable (e.g. "LD_LIBRARY_PATH") was set or overwritten.

I vote against applying this patch. If someone really wants to have it
he can create a modified "login", put in "/usr/local" and use the
"lo" field in "gettytab".
