Comment #24 on issue 22703 by [email protected]: All subprocess creation  
needs to go through zygote
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22703

Evan,

I just found that a program named "exe" appeared when I ran the "top"  
command on my Linux box. I first suspected it could
be some sort of malware, as I had no idea about the name. After some  
investigation ("pstree" helped), I reached the issue
page.

I guess most people don't care about the process name, but there may be  
some people who would get surprised by the name.
IIRC, /proc/self/exe is seen as a symbolic link, so we could resolve the  
link to get the real path name. However, it could
cause a subtle race, so it's probably not worth doing.
