I realize this is quite a hack, but the entire command line is
preserved in the process's entry in the OS's process table. if you do
"ps -ax" you will see that the interpreter was invoked with -i. I
didn't test this under windows, but it works on Mac and Linux.


There is a set of utilities that have UNIX-like ps behavior, but, as is typical for Windows, they don't work the way their UNIX and UNIX-like counterparts do. Does 'ps' work from within Cygwin, and if so, would redistributing that be an option?
