What does (OS-SYSTEM "env") give you?
Compare that to running "env" in a shell.

Hello Rob,

when comparing the output of my lisp program that calls "env"
and "env" from a shell, there're only two differences:
SHLVL is "1" when called from the shell and "2" when called from
lisp and "OLDPWD" is missing in the lisp-env.
This doesn't sound like a serious issue at all.

I still (or even more so) can't imagine where that erroneous behaviour
might come from.
