That will be because your hook is a shell script and the shell invokes a
.profile or .login that sets variables. To see the empty environment
use a hook that doesn't set any variables, say:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const char *path = getenv("PATH");
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", path ? path : "no PATH");
return 1;
}
