Bluh, it's coupled with the lonnet.pm changes that you installed last
week.

loncgi.pm 1.6 fixes this. (loncgi.pm has it's own routines for
initializing the $env{} var...)

You won't need to bounce the server after installing loncgi.pm 1.6:

http://install.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/loncom/cgi/loncgi.pm?rev=1.6;content-type=text%2Fplain

Sorry about forgetting that.
