This is a known problem since it plagued the GNUStep port as well (when
it couldn't dump). Right now the use of CANNOT_DUMP leads to all kinds
of problems (IIRC even things like ~/.emacs don't get processed
correctly). But it's not very high on the todo-list, so if you can find
a fix for it, it would probably be welcome, but otherwise don't hold
your breath. A better path might be to try and find a way to do the
unexec.
