I hear you.  Let's say it is broken.  What's the fix?  Don't use $PATH by
default?

Some tests want to deliberately look in $PATH and set up the test
accordingly;
maybe the simple fix is just to not use os.environ['PATH'] when the
passed-in
optional path arg is None.  Any test that really wants that would have to
explicitly pass os.environ['PATH'].  I wonder how many tests that would
break.
