Interesting. We're overwriting whatever is after spawn_arg on the stack,
so I'd expect the fork/exec to work, but the function to complain while
popping the stack frame (though I couldn't get it to do so). I wonder if
some kind of stack protection is kicking in, and the NULL doesn't get
written or something. Either way, we should definitely address it.
