Good point.  I just did it because it worked on BSD, and I don't have
setproctitle.  If sendmail does it by default if setproctitle exists,
maybe that is the way to go.

BSDI 4.01 doesn't have setproctitle, but I don't need it because I can
just assign anything in there.

I saw the FreeBSD code, and it seems they have added a sysctl() call in
the library setproctitle code to handle it.
