I noticed that it actually isn't leaked because finish_connect() frees
it. For this reason, I actually have to wonder why your version that
stored a pointer to automatic storage in ->argv worked.

I would not worry too much today. Of course, functions other than
start_command() might begin to access ->argv[i] with i > 0 later, but
then we have to audit all users of struct child_process anyway.
Currently, only start_command() uses these values, which is always
called at a time when they are still valid.
