[Bug 1517107] Re: $PATH is getting clobbered when starting a container with Upstart

[Stéphane Graber]

** Description changed:

- I have a script using the Python3 LXC API that starts up a container.
- If I use an Upstart job to call the script, the $PATH env var is getting
- clobbered and the container fails to start.
+ == SRU ==
+ Rationale: LXC 1.1 and higher mangles the process env to be able to re-title itself, breaking the environment for sub-processes in the process
+ Test case: Spawn a container and check /proc/self/environ
+ Regression potential: Worst case scenario is we stamp on a different part of the process memory leading to similar but different breakage. It's been tested not to be the case though, change comes from upstream.
+ 
+ == Original bug report ==
