I am running a multithreaded application in which I am trying to set
an environment variable using putenv. The string I am using as
argument to putenv was created as
char *str=strdup(<local var>);
When I try to invoke same environment variable using another thread
within same process using getenv, I am not able to access the value of
env variable.
Can Anyone please let me know, what could be the probable reason for
this problem.
