#13081: Can only run any program a limited number of times before hanging

--------------------------------------+------------------------------
If you repeatedly run a program, whether via system() or load_image(), you
only get a few hundred runs before the program hangs. Or rather, it seems
the child program hangs in relocate_image while it is being loaded, before
it's main thread starts.
See the attached stress test program example (redirect standard output to
a file to make it more readable). It repeatedly runs /bin/date, with a
pause between iterations. Expect to get less than 1000 runs.
This may explain why Haiku gets stuck if left running long enough.
Tested in hrev50678, also affects earlier versions.
