Hi Julien,

I did come across that one an hour or so back, can you let me know if there
is any way to confirm that it is the same issue I am running up against.
The command `procstat -kka` does have very similar (and in some cases
identical) output to the lines in the PR mentioned.

Unfortunately I need to stick to 12.0 till 12.1 is out, any idea if I can
merge the same change into 12.0 and compile it?
I can see the changes in the 12.1 branch, just wondering if I should jump
to the beta or wait it out if I cant compile it into 12.0.

Thanks for your help,

Reshad
