It's not just $ORIGIN that can make use of it. Imagine for a moment getting a backtrace automatically on a segfault. It's a lot easier and more reliable if you get access to the debug sections. Those are normally not mapped though, so you need access to the path. Sure, there is still the chance of renames etc in the middle, but those are rare. Joerg
