After you verify that this change isn't going to break things that
assume they can see the *argv list via ps(1). I.e. lightning bolts
that do 'kill -MUMBLE `ps -ax|grep foo`'. Which may not be elegant
style, but sometimes is the only workable solution.
Where this could be an issue is binaries with multiple names. E.g.
if bar is a symlink to foo, and you execute bar, ps (old style)
reports:
83158 p0 S 0:00.00 bar (foo)
I *suspect* in the new scheme when running non-root, you don't see
bar show up. If that's the case, we've broken working code.
Now, if instead printing *argv[] follows the -e semantics I posted to
the list a couple of days ago, all should be well.
