Short comment here -- argv[0] most probably is `busybox' here, so there is
no problem in this case -- but think of a vague case where argv[0] contains
`ps\0aslkgihrrt...'. after a previous strncopy, argv[0] would contain
`iniaslkgihrrt...' 

couldn't that just be done as: argv[0] = "init" -- it should not matter
where argv[0] points at ?
