This patch (attached and at
ftp://draal.physics.wisc.edu/pub/kernel/exec.c.patch) fixes the argv[0]
problem with Digital Unix binaries under linux-alpha. I have personally
tested it with Netscape, Maple, and some executables I compiled myself, and
several other people with alphas have tested it as well.

I've posted this before, but it's been tested more now, and doesn't seem to
have any problems.

Please include this patch in the next release of the kernel.

thanks!
