Here's a program that drops a shell, & lets you see anything you want
to see when you do a ps...

main(argc,argv,envp)
int argc;
char **argv;
char **envp;
{
  char *malloc();
  strcpy((argv[0]=malloc(20)),"bloop -q gunk");
  execve("/bin/sh",argv,envp);
}

This doesn't screw up any of your environment variables... maybe it
screws up something else I don't know about...
