W/o further reading, this cannot be right. Elements of
`process-environment' have always the syntax "VAR=VALUE". You add only a
VALUE (`exec-path') in `bufferenv'. I understand your intention, using
`bufferenv' as transportation vehicle, but I believe this is
mis-designed, and good for trouble. If not now, then later.

(I will review your proposal later, when this is fixed.)

Best regards, Michael.
