In my job as a system administrator I routinely get reports of breakage
because of third party software packages which [have/choose to] use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH - it ends up being applied to the child processes which
happen to be incompatible with the given libraries. The effects may
be either spectacular or subtle, the latter being more dangerous.
