it seems a shame to use  #ifdef __FREEBSD__ if we could have the problem on 
other systems. Why not just check if kvm_getenv works, and if not, use the 
environ variable?  In fact, maybe we should just always use the environ 
variable since that should work everywhere?

Summary:  Patch for kvm_code on FreeBSD 5 to allow running without /proc

Original Submission:  The KVM code used by FreeBSD to read argv and envp 
requires
/proc to be mounted for the envrionemtne to read properly.
This is not true by default on FreeBSD system of 5 and above.

The attached patch alters the code to always use the static
environment pointer on FreeBSD, even when using KVM. This
allows the code to work properly on FreeBSD 5, whilst also
working on previous versions.
