Well, no one else has answered this, so I guess I get to follow
up to my own post.  Apparently TBL_PROCINFO doesn't like empty
process slots any more.  Under 2.0, you can only request
information on multiple processes if they have strictly
consecutive pids.  Ick.  You basically have to do all the stuff
in the sample code for processor_set_tasks(), then call
unix_pid() on each task port, qsort() those, and do multiple
table() calls.  It gets even worse if you want it to work on a
multiple-CPU machine.  Yuck, phooey, bletch.
