Thanks again.

Hm. IIUC modifying the argv pointers on AIX will modify the process title,
which could cause 'ps' to temporarily show duplicate/missing arguments
during option parsing. That doesn't seem too terrible, but if pointer
assignments aren't atomic, maybe 'ps' could be sent off to another part of
memory, which does seem terrible.
