Commit 061b88c732952c59741374806e1e41c1ec845d50 saved argv0 to a global buffer without ensuring that it was zero terminated, allowing references to it to overrun the buffer and access other memory. This probably would not have presented any security risk, but could have resulted in very confusing failures if the path to the executable was very long. Reported by David Rowley
