Very interesting. So we now know exactly what happens and why it
happens. Cool :)

But whose bug is it, really ?

On one hand, I agree that checking for NULL values in argv should
probably be done in CFRuntime.c. But on the other hand, nullifying argv
entries in set_arg0 while keeping the argc value intact is really asking
for troubles don't you think ? :)
