That's the general definition of EFAULT, yes. A more helpful definition
is from getenv(3):

ERRORS
[...]
     [EFAULT]		The functions setenv(),	unsetenv() or putenv() failed
			to make	a valid	copy of	the environment	due to the
			environment being corrupt (i.e., a name	without	a
			value).	 A warning will	be output to stderr with
			information about the issue.

I didn't say otherwise. FreeBSD will return an EFAULT error if the
environment string for the process is malformed at the time of the
putenv. You can see the logic for this here:
