    Not all tasks consist of a segment list, so you can't do this for
    everything. I think the closest you can get for tasks only is
    the PC register from the stack when it is not active (so presumably
    you have to disable interrupts to kill task switching, pluck the
    value(s), then enable interrupts again).

    If the task is a Process, though, you can use the pointer in the
    struct Process, which is a superset of the struct Task (ie: struct
    Process *me = (struct Process *)FindTask(NULL);).
