Re: SEGV when make is run with malformed environment

You don't mention which version of GNU Make you're using.  I see similar if I use the version from Debian Buster, but not in the latest version.  It seems likely to have been fixed nearly five years ago under:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59601
buffer over-read on malformed environment variable

***** EXTERNAL EMAIL *****
Hello,

GNU Make crashes with a SEGV when the environment contains invalid entries. For example:

```c
#include <unistd.h>

int main(void)
{
    char *envp[] = {"key", NULL};    // key without value
    execve("/bin/make", (char *[]) {"/bin/make", NULL}, envp);
}
```

Regards,
