Wouldn't there still be a race condition for publicly broadcasting your
password via ps?

In addition, I think on some Unices overwriting argv[0] does not have the
effect Dscho is aiming for.

I thought so, too, but I couldn't find any mention of it online.  For
curiosity's sake, do you happen to know offhand any platform where this
doesn't work (of course, Dscho is really proposing overwriting argv[i],
but I don't know if that makes a difference to the portability)?
