There are a few others too:

./deco-3.9_3.log
./gdc-0.24_3.log
./ghc-6.8.2_1.log
./hugs98-200609_2.log
./jdk-1.6.0.3p4_2.log

Also sysutils/screen.

We could either patch these, try to alter the prototype of our execvpe 
to match, or rename/hide our version.  I don't know if there is a 
standards-based argument.
