Thanks for having identified the problem. I fixed it in the last revisions 
(#1825 & #1826).

Now, instead of a freeze, the IDE will just warn that the shell runnning the 
debugged process has returned a value, and you will see its error message in 
the console.

In the future, I will directly check that environmental variable names are 
syntactically correct.
