When spawning processes, don't ignore the passed in environment

Previously, we'd always call execv() and unconditionally use
the environment of the parent.  Now we call execve() with the
passed in environment.  For compatibility, we detect if
the passed in environment is NULL and for that case, use the
environment from the parent instead.
