Yes I do.  The output is the same.

For the record, I first encountered this problem with ssh-agent.
My .xinitrc ends like this :

urxvtd -q -f -o
exec ssh-agent some-window-manager

Process launched by urxvtc couldn't connect to the agent whereas
those launched by urxvt could.  Looking into this a bit further
pointed out this environment issue.
