- How about documenting it :-) Never mind, I'll wait for Michael to figure it out.
- Now the MFAQ: getting ps to work.
- simple doing ps -U sort of works but doesn't print the command line just the
- command name. doing ps -U Image /dev/swap results in bad magic number.
- Also the TPGID entry displays large numbers unrelated to any process.
- Even looking in /proc/15/stat reveals a smaller number (625) but their is no
- such process (21 is highest)
- Am I just running in the dark or is this a bug?

- Great work as usual, Linus. If you're ever in LA you can have all the free
