Yes, I had already added the +1, but for same obscure reason it worked
also with the original code, so I didn't notice the bug in my first test.
I suspect that the readline uses only the basename of the argument.
Ok also for strrchr, this is the final patch:

+ 			rl_readline_name = (progname ? progname+1 : argv[0]);

  #endif
  	}
