The reason for doing this is as follows. If I monitor the environment variables from inside c in the routine main.cpp, I find that the LANG variable is not set (if Inkscape was started from DOS).

If I monitor the environment variables from inside Python as called by Inkscape, I find that LANG is set.

If I monitor again in Inkscape c code called by Python called by Inkscape, it is still set.

As soon as I unset it, the crash disappears. This appears to be the difference between running from DOS versus spawning from Python.
