Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] tests: avoid crash when run under gcov

Running ./autobuild.sh failed when gcov is installed, because
commandtest ended up crashing during gcov's getenv() call after
exit() had already started. I traced this nasty bug back to
a scoping issue present since the test introduction.
* tests/commandtest.c (mymain): Move newenv...
(newenv): ...to a scope that is still useful during exit().
P.S. I think that's a bug in gcov for calling getenv("GCOV_PREFIX")
multiple times during the program. Since the program can change it's
own environment, gcov should only be calling getenv() once during
startup and caching the results for the life of the program. So I filed:
