 Reported by Miroslaw Luc <mirecki at nask.pl>.

  1. ps reads all of the strings from argv[], not just argv[``0] to the
 nearest NULL. Setting argv[``1] to NULL helps ps to read only argv[``0];)

  2. If the length of the initial args > argv[``0] modified by
 setproctitle() then ps discards the latter and displays the initial args.
 The problem is that it is always true because of using SPACES in
 ovdb_monitor/ovdb_server and `-s' in nnrpd.

 We should:

  1. Set argv[``1] to NULL in setproctitle().
  2. Move the environment to malloc()'ed space to make a room for
 argv[``0].
  3. Spawn nnrpd without `-s'.
  4. Remove SPACES from ovdb_init,monitor,server.

 It's not clear if this is worth it; setproctitle() seems to be getting
 less and less popular.
