Hi,
When searching for problems why the testsuite failed, I came
acrross an error where there is a buffer overflow in genfile.c
Here is the patch:

+ memmove (exec_argv+2, exec_argv+1, (exec_argc-2)*sizeof (*exec_argv));
exec_argv[1] = "--checkpoint";
#ifdef SIGCHLD
Starting from exec_argv+2, you only have exec_argc-2
pointers free left. The first 2 elements aren't touched.
Since this is only used in the testsuite, this probably
isn't a big problem.
