+Subject: [PATCH] kern/parser: Fix resource leak if argc == 0
+
+After processing the command-line yet arriving at the point where we are
+setting argv, we are allocating memory, even if argc == 0, which makes
+no sense since we never put anything into the allocated argv.
+
+The solution is to simply return that we've successfully processed the
+arguments but that argc == 0, and also ensure that argv is NULL when
+we're not allocating anything in it.
+
+There are only 2 callers of this function, and both are handling a zero
+value in argc assuming nothing is allocated in argv.
