Public bug reported:
I have a pipeline of about 2 dozen commands that I expect will run for
2-3 weeks, with top running concurrently in another window. They are
compute-intensive, and there is always at least one one that is running
and sometimes more. In spite of this after several days, top stopped
reporting any of them, whether or not I have top showing idle tasks
(when showing idle tasks, it's possible they scrolled off the screen,
when those are not shown, there are only 6 or so processes seen).
I stopped top and restarted, and the 2 running processes immediately
appeared. I conclude that for some reason, top had lost track of them
in some way.
