--- Comment #38 from Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx> 2012-03-27 11:10:46 EDT ---
Yes, Werner, it is.

Please re-read comment #35 which clearly demonstrates that it varies by which
perl version is installed and not by which kernel version is installed. Comment
#36 documents EXACTLY why that is.

The prctl() PR_SET_NAME call has been essentially unchanged since SLES9. The
difference is that perl 5.10 didn't use it and perl 5.14 does. Perl used to
change just argv[0] and now it changes argv[0] AND uses prctl() to change the
name that is used in /proc/$$/stat. Don't believe me? Try the same tests I did
in comments #35 and #36.

I don't know if there is a way to get what you want without modifying perl not
to call prctl().
