The environ pointer itself is never NULL, this is guaranteed by crt.h. However if the environment is empty, environ will point to a NULL pointer. While this case will be checked by the loop later, this only happens after the first loop iteration. To avoid reading invalid memory inside the loop, fix the test that checks for an empty environment.
