Mmm, interesting idea. A simpler solution is just copy the needed argv0. In your example, about 500 bytes are wasted ;))) By using the needed size at argv0, we have the space needed.
If execv doesn't do any magic with the supplied argv array, then this should work.

No, because the len of argv[0] being 'my proggy' is 9, that is not 511 ;)) We cannot tell the allocated space, I'm afraid O:)

I should smoke crack, definitely. That way I would not mess with that argv thing XDDDD
