The execve() call allows to execute a process with no arguments at all,
so argc==0, argv[0]==NULL. Most of the programs, even setuid ones such as
sendmail, suidperl etc. behave very strange way if they are called with no
arguments since their programmer except that argc>=1. Usually they exit
with segmentation fault.
Does anyone need this feature (or bug) ? I think disabling this would
increase security.
