[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
As mentioned in a comment on line 198 of 'tee.c', 'tee' overwrites 
'argv[argc]'.  This is very bad style at best, and probably undefined 
behavior on at least some platforms.  The attached patch replaces the 
current hack with another hack that is still bad style, but probably 
safer than the current hack.
