If I remember correctly, you could simply do:

apex-env printenv
apex-env eraseenv

and then set the environment variables again.

Maybe someething liks this:

apex-env printenv > env
apex-env eraseenv
for i in `cat env`; do
    key=$(echo "$i" | cut -d '=' -f1)
    val=$(echo "$i" | cut -d '=' -f2)
    apex-env setenv "$key" "$val"
done

Note that I didn't test this.  Maybe Gordon can confirm that this'll
work.

Gordon, can you add the rootdelay answer to the FAQ please.
