If I cannot trust the tools provided by the OS for finding out whats
going on-- than what can I trust -- this is intolerable! - if it is
simply a situation if a non root user not being able to see root
processes that is one thing, BUT if it really is a situation of the
tools not giving accurate asessments, that is a whole other situation,
and one that just cannot be allowed to continue (not that I can do much
other than scream about it, cuz im not a programmer)
