Hi,
Whoever made procfs aware of kernel threads broke also the
/proc/%pid/status line. Or, maybe it's a by-product of showing
kthreads in the proc table...
According to procfs(5), the status line contains several well-defined
fields separated by spaces. However, the kernel thread names look like
'swi5: task queue' and 'swi1: net', which results in variable number of
space-separated fields. As a consequence, some software that parses this
line gives incorrect results.
I noticed this while trying to fix mysterious coredumps in
src/release/picobsd/tinyware/aps (which is obsolete anyway, but it should
work).
