Assuming you don't mind stomping envp, sure.

Did you check your environment variable list to make sure that wasn't changed 
by writing to argv[argc+1]?  I believe the layout of this memory is 
determined by the kernel when it does an exec, and that the initial 
environment space starts right after the argument list.  But maybe there's 
some padding in there, I haven't looked...

And of course this is on Linux 2.6, haven't tried on older kernels or on MacOS 
X...
