Bug description:
  = SRU =

  All Python system scripts should use -Es to ignore $PYTHON* envars and
  to ignore the user's site directory.  This is a general
  recommendation.

  [Test Case]
  $ PYTHONHOME=/does/not/exist lsb_release
  -> crashes without the fix
  -> works correctly with the fix

  [Regression Potential]
  None expected.

  = Details =

  During the installation process of either VMware Player major version
  4 or 5 you will receive a crash report regarding lsb-release as VMware
  ships a version of python 2 with the installer and the installation
  process calls lsb-release which uses python 3.

  I'm just login, and the message to some application crashed pops up.
