C apps can't really muck with it all they like. There's a lot
of limitations. In general, increasing the legth is not portably
safe (without horrible kludges), and no minimum length can be
guaranteed.
The only simple, portable way is opportunistically resetting
argv[0] if and only if the len(newValue) <= len(oldValue).
