Hi,

I’ve just opened a pull request  
[Fix for GLib::Spawn regression by geoffyoungs · Pull Request #1 · ruby-gnome/ruby-gnome · GitHub](https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/pull/1) with a patch that  
fixes GLib::Spawn.async, GLib::Spawn…async\_with\_pipes and  
GLib::Spawn…sync when the environment parameter is nil.

I was hoping for someone else to check it over before I commit it -  
I’m assuming I’ve understood the purpose of RVAL2STRV\_ACCEPT\_NIL, but  
I could be wrong 🙂

Also I’ve added a test case, but I’m not sure whether it’ll work on  
Windows (or even how relevant it is there).

Thanks,

G.

Thanks, and sorry about messing this up.
