Existence of a race in env tests was originally reported in issue #25234, but it incorrectly assumed it was due to shared /env. Instead, the race seems to be in the Plan 9 kernel, between rfork(RFCENVG) and access to /env.

I propose replacing rfork(RFCENVG) (which creates a new env group) with removal of all environment variables in the current env group. I'll send a CL soon.
