I take it you mean "*an* absolute path that was valid when we cut the EXECVE
record", and document that it may not be *the* actual path used?  In a quarter
century, I've just seen *too* many race conditions, tricks with ../symlink/foo
links, and the like (including some interesting malware that would dynamically
create a symlink and execve through it, just to frustrate attempts at figuring
out which binary was being exploited).
