 From CERT advisory CA-2000-13

    [With respect to setproctitle()] it turns out that FreeBSD fixed this
    bug in the system ftpd back in 1996, so it is not present in all
    versions of FreeBSD since 2.2.0.


Someone mention this as some PR on Bugtraq and here this certainly is 
conformation. <g>
