[issue3440] Starting any program as a subprocess fails when subprocess.Popen has env argument

[Lenard Lindstrom]

The notepad example works with Pythons 2.4.4 and 2.5.4 on Windows 98. So
something changed in Windows XP. The 0xc0150004 error code crops up when
a side-by-side assembly fails to load. The DLL loader appears to use the
SystemRoot environment variable to find dependencies. I will check if
the XP notepad.exe is an SxS and post a follow-up.
