I am not convinced that this is worth doing.  Any name from anywhere is
always just a guess at what might be the right file name.  There will
always be cases where you can't manage to guess it.  It is only a guess for
convenience when not secure, after all.  With fexecve, there isn't even any
such file name to pass as a better guess than something derived from argv[0].


Thanks,
Roland
