Michael Kerrisk 34dcae5481 Fix text that warns against use of NULL argv and envp. 
Using a NULL envp does in fact seem to be portable (works
on Solaris and FreeBSD), but the Linux semantics for a NULL
argv certainly aren't consistent with other implementations.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8408.
