These environment variables are targeted mainly at developers looking
at/debugging memory issues.  Do they really belong in the
(user-oriented) man pages?
I don't like undocumented command line options - and the environment vars 
are something very similar. So in my opinion: Yes :-)
I can see Joerg's point. If we don't document it in the man pages, we need to document it somewhere other than in source code.
