Just a thought, but doesn't the program that's running have an open
I/O stream to the binary that it was loaded from?  At least programs
with overlays do, so that the overlay manager can load the appropriate
segments.  Now, given this struct FileHandle * or whatever, maybe you
can get a lock.  And from there do the normal sorts of things to get the
full path name to the binary.

Sounds ugly.
