with the es_arglen change that I just committed, this works on i386 -current now.
amd64 -current already worked.

with the procfs change that I just requested be pulled up to netbsd-7,
this works on i386 netbsd-7 too.  I haven't tried amd64 netbsd-7,
but I suspect that it will work as well.  hopefully this will make it into 7.1.
