>Which glibc version are you using?
Reproducible with both glibc 2.5 (openSuSE 10.2 64bit) and 2.6.1
(openSuSE 10.3 64bit).

In order to reproduce it you need to run this:
TEST_VAR1=test TEST_VAR2=test valgrind --tool=memcheck ./sapi/cli/php
-r 'putenv("TEST_VAR1"); putenv("TEST_VAR2");'

>Do you have backtraces?

Valgrind log is here: http://news.php.net/php.cvs/49863

The patch on 5.2.6 for posix is causing crash on the linux versions. Is
it possible to fix this soon?

Your patch causes crashes on Linux, please revert.

Description:
------------
PHP would crash in certain cases where putenv() is being called, in
POSIX systems which calls free() in putenv().

The following patch always duplicate the environment from the
environment instead of relying on that they are invariant.
