Please have a blank line each between paragraphs; a solid block of
text is very hard to follow.

Much nicer than before thanks to argv_array ;-)

What is this free() for???

The updated code frees argv[] immediately after start_command()
returns, and it may happen to be safe to do so with the current
implementation of start_command() and friends, but I think it is a
bad taste to free argv[] (or env[] for that matter) before calling
finish_command(). These pieces of memory are still pointed by the
child_process structure, and users of the structure may want to use
contents of them (especially, argv[0]) for reporting errors and
various other purposes, e.g.
child = get_helper();
trace("started %s\n", child->argv[0]);
if (finish_command(child))
return error("failed to cleanly finish %s", child->argv[0]);
