Under 2.0.27, ps -ax shows "bash /some/path/scum" (or "(scum) if argv is
swapped out) and pstree shows "scum".

I fal to see how that behavior can be improved on in any way. The new code
(which this patch deleted) would show "(bash)" or "bash" in the latter two
cases. :-(

Besides, I want to be able to type "killall foo" after starting ten copies
of foo. Oops -- foo was a perl program, and "killall perl" would kill a
bunch of important jobs...
