Prep v239.2: Handle program_invocation_short_name more properly (#92)
With glibc, at least v2.28, program_invocation_short_name is not a string of its own, but simply points into program_invocation_name. When elogind is forked, the fork process gets a new name. Upstream has decided to change to long version, which is the correct thing to do. Unfortunately program_invocation_short_name is not adapted, and all further log messages using it might print anything. This patch manipulates program_invocation_short_name if its adress lies within program_invocation_name and its original length. Bug: #92 Closes: #92 Signed-off-by: Sven Eden <sven.eden@prydeworx.com>
