Really few applications become unhappy if say,called "/bin/ls" instead of "ls". So saying things are "broken" without switching to P flag is a bit myopic view. In my experience, only some testsuites suffer failures. The problem with updating the binfmt registration is that people may have a mix of old and new qemu binaries. When we change the registration, it means no old qemu anymore works. The "argc > 3" is also a bit weak - it means that calling "ls -la ." would pass the test even if "P" flag is not set, but qemu would pass wrong parameters to the binary being run. No doubt starting to use the P flag would be a improvement. But it would be good to find a less breaky way manage the transition. Riku
