Grumpf... that is more an artifact of that I quickly (since lots of
people were complaining) tried to come up with a "ultra-low risk" for
the process name issue described in
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6793120
("pkill fails on native and sn1 branded zones") - that's why I wrapped
the script simply in a binary (which we knew would be safe from the
testing point-of-view) instead of rewriting the script in binary code
(which would've be much more risky since new bugs could've crept in).
