yeah yeah...one of these days...

>Description:

after building current, i decided to run the regression tests to see
what would happen.  it failed at the kern/execve set and caused me to
have to restart the testing.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd src; make regression-tests
(wait)
(watch it fail on the execve tests)

>Fix:

here's a patch!  someone stick it in please, and cancel pr6543 since
that fix (both of them) is bogus (thanks perry).
