For reference, here's the relevant section from the man page:

BUGS
     Successive calls to setenv() or putenv() assigning a differently sized
     value to the same name will result in a memory leak.  The FreeBSD seman-
     tics for these functions (namely, that the contents of value are copied
     and that old values remain accessible indefinitely) make this bug
     unavoidable.  Future versions may eliminate one or both of these semantic
     guarantees in order to fix the bug.
