I tried the original program with the three strings that were repeatedly copied
to argv[0].  I used *s[] = { "hello", "there", "people"}, and started the
program with something like 'foo &'. ps always showed 'foo' in the column 
COMMAND, but a ps -f would show the three different strings, and combinations
of *parts* of the strings like 'thople'.
