O argv, argv, wherefore art thou argv?

All of my machines (various open source derivatives on x86 and amd64) store argv above the stack (at a higher memory address). I am curious to learn if any systems store argv below the stack (at a lower memory address). I am particularly interested in proprietary Unices, such as Solaris, HP-UX,...

NAME

       pause - suspend process until signal

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       int pause(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  pause()  function  suspends  the  calling  process	until it receives a signal. The signal must be one that is not currently set to be
       ignored by the calling process.

       If the signal causes termination of the calling process, pause() does not return.

       If the signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching	function  (see	signal(3C)),  the  calling
       process resumes execution from the point of suspension.

RETURN VALUES

       Since  pause()  suspends thread	execution indefinitely unless interrupted by a signal, there is no successful completion return value.	If
       interrupted, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The pause() function will fail if:

       EINTR	       A signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching function.
