0. cx_Freeze-3.0.1
1.Python 2.3.5 (#2, Sep  4 2005, 22:01:42) [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] 
on linux2
2. if I call the program via a bash script the fullpath is in argv[0] and it 
works
3. it does not work if its called by a closed-source program which only 
provides the name in argv[0]
4. /opt/stuff is not in the path, but that would also not help, as the path 
only helps for executing but not for opening an file. the program is called 
within a chroot so in real its e.g. in /home/someinstall/chroot/opt/stuff. 

this all is no problem with a not-frozen program as these programs don't 
need to open themself and have so no problem with that kind of argv[0] 

I've pasted you the straces because the closed-source program that calls the 
frozen program just return nothing, as it only returns stdout to the user. 
so I had no change to get any information without a strace connected to the 
closed-source pid and following forks.
