hmm... i tried on 3 other systems which run SuSE linux 7.1 with a 2.4.2
kernel. my test:

123.c:
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    argv[0]="asd";                // does not work, strdup neither
    strcpy(argv[0], "asd");     // works but does not look like a good idea
    while (1)
        sleep(1);
}
gcc -Wall -Os 123.c -o 123

on all systems this process showed up as "123", not as "asd". i think i'm
gonna have a look into sysvinit source, because it's running on all 3
systems and shows up as "init [3]"...
