Comment 14 for bug 1959475

> The patch expands the case where the TERM variable is inherited from PID 1 when building an execution environment, e.g. for a container. If problems were to occur, it would be related to the value of TERM in environments forked off of PID 1.

Eh? That isn't at all what the patch does...

Anyway, that patch only incidentally 'fixes' this, by changing the caller to use path_equals_ptr which null-checks; while a better commit is 105396778174a39bb04e9a78281ec7601e252d9f which fixes path_compare() itself (i.e. for all callers).
