Oooh.  ‘invoke’ uses ‘system*’, and in shepherd 0.9.3, ‘system*’ is
implemented in terms of ‘fork+exec-command’, which only passes the
environment variables listed in ‘default-environment-variables’ by
default.  Thus, (setenv "LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY" …) had no effect on the
child process; it just wouldn’t see LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY.

I think the patch below will be good… or very close to it.

Lemme know!

Thanks,
