description:
execve_runproc: Correct thinko in Rev. 1.386; the new SP always points to
after (higher adderss) argc/argv/env/aux/strings regardless of stack growing
direction .  Machines with grow-up stack will detect the top of
argc/argv/env/aux/strings by the address of *argv[] via ps_strings:ps_argvstr.

This means that old comments about RTLD_GAP are all obsolete.

With help from Nick Hudson.
