   No; the new way doesn't mutate at all.  It creates a new environment
   that shares some substructure with the old environment.

ok i see this now.

   But, does this test need a different execution environment?  It's true
   for any existing test case that, if it causes a SEGV, the following
   test cases won't run.  This doesn't worry us much because SEGVs aren't
   an important part of our plans :-)

sorry, "different" was unclear.  it needs to have an independent
execution environment, which may be the same in construction as for the
other tests, for precisely the reason you give.
