Note this is not a real bug but an inconvinience for programmers.
Also it is documented so it is not really undefined/unwandet behaviour.

What is the Bug?
The map struct of the Server methods has a flaw.
One member is named wrong (or unintuitive) "Environnement".
How can I reproduce this?
Call any method that returns a map struct via xmlrpc on a server.
What is my expectation of this bug?
The name should be "Environment".

Affected Functions
GetCurrentMapInfo
GetNextMapInfo
GetMapInfo
GetMapList
(list may be incomplete)

Problems
A change might invalidate current server managers, as they "rely" on the error, but this is minor
as with the introduction of the SetApiVersion method it can be circumvented.

Further references:
Quoted from the tm-karma plugin of xaseco2 when using the output of GetCurrentMapInfo:

Environnement is in French^^. Nadeo has written this in French but yes in English, it's better.

These minor French/English misspellings have been in the dedicated servers since the TMN/TMO/TMS one. Another well-known example is Payed instead of Paid. They probably won't be fixed in order to maintain compatibility with server controllers.

Yeah I believe this too but maybe give it a try ^^
TMC has some more movement going on than the older "versions".

For compatibility one could also double this field at the cost of more bandwidth being used.

You'll find more of these french words mixed in... Though, I hope they don't change them -- the simple change from 'Challenge' to 'Map' has proved devastating enough to backwards compatibility as it is.
