I think this change should be reverted.

In my case, I need to be able to retrieve the command line for a Cygwin 
process from a non-Cygwin process.  Reading /proc/$pid/cmdline is not an 
option in that case.  I depend on the ability to, for example, 
differentiate gcc processes that are running based on their command line 
options.

Note that strace is currently broken as well.  Running it against a 
'make' invocation:

$ strace make | grep "cmd line"
  2532  163533 [main] make 6688 child_info_spawn::worker: pid 6688, 
prog_arg /usr/bin/g++, cmd line (null))
  2207  158021 [main] g++ 6688 child_info_spawn::worker: pid 2180, 
prog_arg /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/cc1plus.exe, cmd line (null))
  1292  680192 [main] g++ 6688 child_info_spawn::worker: pid 3604, 
prog_arg 
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe, 
cmd line (null))
  1274  989508 [main] g++ 6688 child_info_spawn::worker: pid 6176, 
prog_arg /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/collect2.exe, cmd line (null))
  2305  385952 [main] collect2 6176 child_info_spawn::worker: pid 6340, 
prog_arg 
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld, cmd 
line (null))

Note that "cmd line" is now (null) in all cases.

Tom.
