 * Name: env_share
 *
 * Description:
 *   Increment the reference count on the internal environment structure of
 *   a task.  This is the action that is performed when a new pthread is
 *   created: The new pthread shares the environment with its parent.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   ptcb The new TCB to receive the shared environment.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   A pointer to a specified TCB's environment structure with an incremented
 *   reference count.
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *   Not called from an interrupt handler.
