    Hi Philippe :)

    Oh, sh*t, you're true, and that is the problem I was afraid to
suffer from. Then, all I can do is overwrite argv[0] with a new
string whose length is less or equal than the existing one.

    Well, I suppose I must go with that limitation.

    Thanks, Philippe, for the code snipped and the explanation.
