I'm not sure if it's clear, but this is FreeBSD complaining that the
environment string is invalid (an entry is missing the '=' separating
the name and value). It's probably worth looking into why that's
happening if you are able; whether nyx/stem/python is somehow causing
that, or if it's something wrong/weird with your machine.

The commit to address this will silence the error, but it still seems
like something is wrong; all env-modifying calls should fail like this
after this point, it seems like.
