Thank you for those references. I did try to make sure that b914084007 would not regress on anything, but apparently I failed to verify the final form. Since all it did was to remove `#if 0`...`#endif` guards, it was unfortunately quite easy for this regression to slip in.

IIRC the original code inside those guards was modeled closely after `execv_dashed_external()`, but it does not really look very much like it anymore now, does it? (And it looks as if 2b296c93d49 (execv_dashed_external: use child_process struct, 2017-01-06) was responsible for that.)

In any case, thank you for the patch, it looks good to me!

Ciao, Dscho
