I know that there are some platforms where processes just get a copy of
their arglist and the original arglist is displayed by ps.  Even on systems
where is can modify the displayed arglist, the username and password will
be there from the time the user starts lynx until it can get around to
processing the arg list and modifying it.  This is certainly long enough
for the username and password to be caught.
