New issue 1991: reload (sys) error

Hi, please excuse my lack of knowledge. I've been running SickBeard through PyPy 2.5.0 on Windows 8.1 x64, and it runs flawlessly sans for its ability to restart. Thanks to a helpful member of the forum who is more knowledgeable than I, we've identified that PyPy isn't returning the executable on a reload.

Here is a link to the thread where we discuss the issue.

The program attempts to restart itself, and instead of calling pypy.exe calls py.py.

This works correctly under python 2.7.9

PyPy 2.5.0:


```
#!python

pypy.exe
Python 2.7.8 (10f1b29a2bd2, Feb 03 2015, 00:56:13)
[PyPy 2.5.0 with MSC v.1500 32 bit] on win32

>>>> import sys
>>>> sys.executable
'c:\\Pypy25\\pypy.exe'
>>>> reload(sys)
<module 'sys' (built-in)>
>>>> sys.executable
'py.py'
```
Python 2.7.9:


```
#!python

python.exe
Python 2.7.9 (default, Dec 10 2014, 12:28:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

>>> import sys
>>> sys.executable
'c:\\Python27\\python.exe'
>>> reload(sys)
<module 'sys' (built-in)>
>>> sys.executable
'c:\\Python27\\python.exe'
```

Thank you in advance.
