The problem with method 2 above is that, unless ISC UNIX is fairly
different from S5 as it comes from AT&T, "ps" doesn't *look* at the
argument list on the stack - it looks at the argument list as set up in
a string in the U area at startup, so your program can twiddle the argv
list until the cows come home and it won't affect what "ps" sees.
