Good point. If we really care, I would imagine that struct child_process
can gain a boolean flag to tell finish_command() that the argv[] needs, so
I do not think leakage here is such a big deal.

Will squash all three hunks in.  Assuming no_fork first and updating conn
as we discover what kind of URL we have feels natural.

Thanks, both.
