Thanks for confirming, pushed my patch as
4b3e278d9c4e5d1f55c1781aa0a7c9f0453f3852 to master.
In my original reply, I missed the test was using the "-env"
option to clear %ENV. It's probably safe to drop the "-env"
option for spawn() to clear %ENV since we don't use it in real
code...

I don't know much about Nix, but I hope/expect public-inbox
tests to work on every reasonably modern Unix-like OS which
Perl5, git, and SQLite run on.
If you post logs of the failures you encountered, it would
improve the chances that somebody here (maybe not me) can
help fix them. Thanks.
