In fact, it does some NSString parsing and NSArray iteration before the execve. So the code is wrong. My only defense is that it was written nearly seven years ago, four years before that release note was written. It worked in the context of the application that used it, on a machine running 10.2. There were no related bug reports. It's been unsupported for five years. Probably it wouldn't run now.
It should have been better. I'll take it down.
