Julien wrote back to say that the "CHEMIN D'ACCÈS" environment variable
is being set by pcAnywhere. Deleting the variable fixed the problem. I
don't know exactly what's going on, but it looks like the "PATH" name is
being localized at a lower level than we control. I found this bug:

Maybe we can work around it by catching the KeyError exception. I wonder
if this happens for any other languages? I have only seen French in the
automatic crash reports.
