+			NOTE(Jeroen):
+
+			This old version returns the wrong executable path for things like `bash` or `sh`,
+			for whom `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` will just report "bash" or "sh",
+			resulting in misleading paths like `$PWD/sh`, even though that executable doesn't exist there.
+
+			A way to "fix" this would be to invoke `which <name>` or scour the $PATH variable, but a better way
+			would be preferred.
+
+			To be fair, `htop` also suffers from this problem and will list `bash`, `tmux`, `xfce4-panel` as just their
+			executable name in the command line column. So I think we shouldn't prepend the current directory when an executable is
+			found in the $PATH, which is what seems to be happening here.
