Since I've been running with CYGWIN error_start always set at the moment, I've
noticed that run is always crashing after launching the process.

I went to all the trouble of investigating this, discovering that
run2_freeargv() is double-freeing the last element in newargv because the NULL
terminator isn't moved when the arguments are shifted down over newargv[0],
and writing a patch, before I noticed that we already had one :-(
