Description

The final setproctitle() call in the attached code results in different outputs from ps depending on the whether the earlier setproctitle() calls are present.

$ cc 19894.c && ./a.out
x (a.out)
$ cc -DMANY 19894.c && ./a.out
a.out: -x (a.out)
$ uname -a

This came up from new perl tests failing on DragonflyBSD.

Turns out that a format beginning with '-' stopped working properly after the 10th call to setproctitle(). DragonFly switches to a faster way after 10 calls and that didn't handle the '-' properly.
