Good point. I just did it because it worked on BSD, and I don't have
setproctitle. If sendmail does it by default if setproctitle exists,
maybe that is the way to go.
BSDI 4.01 doesn't have setproctitle, but I don't need it because I can
just assign anything in there.
I saw the FreeBSD code, and it seems they have added a sysctl() call in
the library setproctitle code to handle it.
