subprocess_env wont change variable set with PerlSetEnv

I have a variable that is set with PerlSetEnv in 
my Apache config. 


PerlSetEnv SOMEVAR FOO

On some occasions my PerlTransHandler
changes this variable:


$r->subprocess_env('SOMEVAR','BAR');


This used to work fine, and my PerlHandler (HTML::Embperl) 
would see $ENV{SOMEVAR}=='BAR'



However, I have just upgraded to apache 1.3.26,
mod_perl 1.27 and added mod_ssl 2.8.10, and this
behaviour no longer works.


$r->subprocess_env('SOMEVAR','BAR');

*only* works if SOMEVAR has not previously been
defined in the server config. Otherwise it remains
unchanged.

Any ideas as to what is happening??


Many thanks,


Chris Allen.
