You can cause a program to start with multiple definitions, because it is
possible to pass arbitrarily funny stuff as 'envp' argument to execve, such as:

- duplicated entries
- entries without a '='
- entries starting with '='
- empty strings
- "2 x 2 = 4"

All of that will be present in the exec'd program's environment array.
