This snippet is about as tiny as it gets in C I think:
#include <unistd.h>
int main (int argc, char ** argv) {
int err;
char *newenv[] = { NULL };
if ((err = execle("/usr/bin/pauseme", "pauseme", NULL, newenv)) < 0 ) {
exit(err);
}
return 0; // never reached!
}

But even this is considered to be risky.
