Wine and process "names"

[Segin]

Good day, everybody! I have recently done two things:

A. I stopped trying to get Wine to use SDL for a graphics display -- the 
entire idea just sucks.
B. Upgraded to 0.9.12

This has presented me with something quite odd

Windows programs running in Wine had their argv[0]'s exposed to Linux. 
Let me clarify: When you run 'ps', the first word in the "CMD" field is 
usually a program's argv[0] and is referred to as the process's "name", 
but of course you all know that. It seems that Windows processes have 
their names exported to Linux in the same way, I literally had this in 
the 'ps' output:
13885 pts/1    00:00:21 C:\windows\notepad.exe

Is this a new behaviour of Wine 0.9.12, or have the virus writers 
finally caught up with us?

This is the expected behavior.

No it's been patch that AJ committed some time ago.

I think you should browse git commit log more often. Especially all of
AJ's patches are not going through wine-patches.

I don't use git. I only use CVS. I only *know* CVS, and not too well at 
that. Hell, I don't know the CVS options for update to fetch new and 
missing directories (e.g. update *everything*)

Then you might as well learn git <g>
Only thing you don't need nothing but browser for this: http://source.winehq.org/git/?p=wine.git;a=shortlog

Thank you! This is actually more useful than I though, cause now I can 
see even the oldest Wine releases (but i doubt there's one as old as my 
kernel on my 486, which is 0.99pl15)
