+ * NOTES:
+ * - although it looks like a classical multiple-readers / single writer (MRSW)
+ * locking problem, we still use a single lock for the following reasons:
+ * 1) newlib has no provision / hook for calling different locking routines
+ * from setenv/putenv and getenv, respectively.
+ * 2) MRSW involves calling several semaphore-primitives, even in the most
+ * likely case of a first-reader's access. This probably takes more CPU
+ * time than just waiting until another reader is done; environment
+ * access is fast.
+ * - the lock implementation must allow nesting (same thread may call
+ * lock-lock-unlock-unlock).
+ * - NEWLIB-1.8.2 has an ugly BUG: if environ is NULL, _findenv_r() bails
+ * out leaving the lock held :-(
+ *
+ * Used by the following functions:
+ * findenv_r(), setenv_r(), and unsetenv_r() which are called by
+ * getenv(), getenv_r(), setenv(), and unsetenv().
