Pietro,

I've seen something on PowerPC as well. If I recompile libc with
lower optimization, the problem goes away (I think -O1 does the
trick -- if not try -O0 :-).

In particular, if you recompile lib/libc/gen/exec.c at -O<less>
the problem goes away. Everytime I've seen execvp() being the at
the top of the call-chain.

Can you check if it's execvp() for you as well?

Thanks,
