I looked here:

    http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html

According to this, setProperties(null) should forget the current set
of system properties.  My reading is that the next getProperties()
should cause the system properties to be recomputed.

What do you think?

If my reading holds, then we should just get rid of prop_init and
always reinitialize the system properties when properties==null.
