Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: I'm sure that there are many places using the API as it is, inserting a dummy entry into the argv they pass. Although the fix you propose would solve the problem for users who are currently using the API wrongly it would break code for people who are using it correctly. It is certainly an unfortunate API wart - but I don't think it is worth breaking people's code to fix it...
