Currently, there can be 2 such comms. The first is created by processing a synthesized fork event and is set to the parent's comm string, and the second by processing a synthesized comm event set to the thread's current comm string. In the absence of an "exec" comm, thread__exec_comm() picks the last (oldest) comm, which, in the case above, is the parent's comm string. For a main thread, that is very probably wrong. Use the second-to-last in that case. This affects only db-export because it is the only user of thread__exec_comm().
