Sorry, brain spasm. You're absolutely right. I saw this a while ago and
don't remember it very well. But I do know it was triggered by cron's
invocation of newsyslog. Also, the source should probably be fixed to get
the right value of argv[0] when COMPRESS gets execl'd (in 1.0, at least,
it hardwires the string "compress").
