Disallow '/' characters in LC_* environment variables which might
be used to point to a bad locale file. This is only believed to be a
minor security risk - the only risk is if some program uses the result
of a localized string as a format specifier in a vulnerable function
like sprintf(). No such code is believed to exist in the FreeBSD base
system, although it is possible that badly written third party code
would do that.
