In 2.x, the size of C string needed for an environment variable used by posix_execve was calculated using PyString_GetSize. In 3.0 this is translated to PyUnicode_GetSize. However, in 3.0 the C string is the UTF-8 encoded version of the unicode object, which doesn't necessarily have the same length as what PyUnicode_GetSize reports. The simplest solution I see is to use strlen() instead.
