You are thinking about re-dumping from an interactive session?  In
that case, probably yes.  But currently we only support dumping from
batch sessions, and in that case I don't see a need to restore
process-environment, am I missing something?

Probably.  I just wanted to do this as close to the actual dumping as
possible, but maybe it's not that important.
