Which library provides unsetenv?

It's in libc on Linux. My manpage says CONFORMING TO 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.

Does the fact that more people haven't seen this mean that it's only a problem on old versions of Solaris? If so, should we just close it, or is there a simple workaround?

[maeder]

I think, it is only a problem under our old Solaris 8. I did not find a work around, but simple gave up using Solaris 8 and switched to using Solaris 10 machines which don't have this problem:

OK, I'll close this ticket then. And thanks for the bindist; I've added it to the 6.10.2 download page.
