I see valgrind failures bisecting to this commit, like so:

==19125== Syscall param execve(argv[i]) points to unaddressable byte(s)
==19125==    at 0x5303CB7: execve (in /lib64/libc-2.11.3.so)

==19125==  Address 0x7feffe7d0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd

when running 'make valgrind' in current master.  Let me know if you
