Just eyeballing the code it looks to me like the problem is this line:

strcat(cmdline, *" --restrictedexec"*);

which is appending an option type argument after the non-option argument.

That would exactly account for the failure when we call "initdb foo" but
not "initdb -D foo".

The solution would be put --restrictedexec earlier on the new command
line. I'll work on that.
