...and then what happens?  Is this too much to ask for a precise
description of a problem? 

If what you see is that Emacs crashes on startup, then this is a known 
problem.  It is also a nasty one to debug (it goes away when you run 
Emacs under a debugger), so I would appreciate if you could find out the 
reason and tell us.  Thanks.

Until somebody has time to debug this, a wrok-around is to not have 
exactly 22 environment variables (any other number prevents this bug from 
happening, or so I'm told).
