Subject: [PATCH] sshcontrol: Use os.environ.copy() instead of copy.copy()
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2015 10:50:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438163449.11208.57.camel@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

os.environ is special and copy.copy() doesn't do what we'd expect,
changes in the child object change the parent. copy.deepcopy() is
also known to have issues with it.

Use the dedicated .copy() method which will not influence the 
parent. This fixes selftest failures where the DISPLAY variable 
disappears.
