Server won't start when international characters exist in environment

           Summary: Server won't start when international characters exist
                    in environment
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.40
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: christofer.akersten@home.se


When an environment variable contains international characters the server won't 
start. The problem is in apr_proc_create (srclib/apr/threadproc/win32/proc.c) - 
apr_conv_utf8_to_ucs2 is used to convert the environment to ucs2 for later use, 
however the initial environment strings aren't coded in utf8 (mbcs?) so an 
error is returned and the server exits.

The same problem might exist in other places where conversion to ucs2 is done.
