Sure this \e is less code, but it seems pretty ugly to me.  Maybe a way
to keep fs/coredump.c sane would be always constructing an argv, and
then in the !ispipe case just join them into one string.

Though I'm still inclined to change systemd to read /proc/pid/cmdline
like abrt does; that way it works on current kernels too.

For what it's worth I noticed this problem with dconf, which uses
g_thread_new ("dconf worker", ...), and g_thread_new uses prctl
(PR_SET_NAME).
