| In the last case, when _exit(2) is called, getprogname report strange
| '-sh' instead of expected 'csh'.
Having the first char of a shell become '-' is an ancient (and most
likely no longer relevant) convention that indicates a login shell
(initially, one started from getty, but now just about anything.)
It isn't a bug, but wacky.
