maybe you can hexedit the binary so that it tries to open /p/pid/cmdline
instead.  of course this necessitates generating a load of /p/2323/cmdline
/p/2324/cmdline of course.  perhaps you can also change the binary so
it calls getppid instead or perhaps just get it to use a constant pid
by replacing the insns which call getpid with ones that movl $0, %eax
