argv[0] needs to be an absolute path

(I assume by "eventually" you mean "possibly", given that your native tongue is german...)

Can't find it in the archive.  Can you send me the URL?

I'm more worried about the fact that I haven't run the regression
tests on native Windows -- my first run of microsoft's api logger
under winxp suggests that argv[0] isn't always an absolute path
there!   (Yeah, that's easy to check without fancy tools, but
I ran the fancy tools to watch ShellExecuteA, and happened to
notice it.)  Also, I should probably run them with
native msvcrt under wine as you suggest.

I guess I should vow never to post a patch until I have a
conformance test to check it, and have run all conformance tests
under both Wine and at least one version of Windows (maybe both
win9x and winxp to be safe).
