Re: libio regressions, shared libs.

More discussions -> more understanding.

If I interpret the code correctly, the goal was to restore 
a working value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH after it had been used for
a test case.  For the default case of LD_LIBRARY_PATH being
unset (or null) the code works fine.  However, if a value is
needed, then it doesn't work.  Saving/restoring the old value
seems to work fine for me, although it doesn't fully meet
AG's needs, I think.
