It's not clear that this is a win. The current code, in glibc and in most other C libraries, doesn't segfault if you don't set the program name, and people might prefer this to an abrupt termination. I agree with Eric that there must be a less-intrusive way to make the change, assuming people want it. There should be no need for that #ifdef HPUX, among other things.
