John,
  If so then the bug 763192 would be that it uses /proc/self/exe. Usage of the exe link should be limited to checking to see if this PID is a running instance of a daemon. I'm not sure I've ever seen another good use for the exe link, but I can tell at a glace that 763192 isn't it.

In that bug report ask them if they use this link and also ask them if they can stop and/or what there reasoning is. I highly doubt the value of this link is used for that application at all.

Also, can you test my little script? Your kernel may or may not even be effected by this bug.

Thank you.
