>Description:
        The putenv(3) library call doesn't unset environment variables on
        FreeBSD as it apparently does on Linux. The correct usage is unsetenv(3).
        This has the effect that CHROOT_USER, CHROOT_ROOT and LD_PRELOAD are leaked
        into the chroot'ed programs environment.
>How-To-Repeat:
        Dump the environment after invoking something with chroot_safe.so preloaded.
>Fix:
        Apply the following diff to the port's Makefile. It will replace the usage of
        putenv(3) with unsetenv(3).
