It should not print a warning in that case. It just goes
through all of the kenv vars (within the for loop), then
simply returns NULL, and main() doesn't do anything.
The warnings in my patch only happen if something very
unusual happens, e.g. there's no kenv at all, or it
contains a malformed variable (no '=' in it) etc.

I will do that on Monday, because now it's weekend, and
weekends are reserved for my girl-friend. :-)
(Also note that I'm not a native English speaker, so
someone will have to go through my manpage patch and
correct wording, grammar etc.)
Best regards
