Thread
======
One can enable thread support by adding -DPROCESSTABLE_THREAD to the DEFINE line in Makefile.PL.
Once this is done, one can invoke Proc::ProcessTable module from multiple threads within the
same process.

BUGS
====
There is an 80-character limit for the cmndline field; this is a
limitation of the Solaris proc filesystem (at least up to Solaris
2.7). The only way to get at commandlines longer than that is to read
/dev/kmem, which would be a major pain. Hopefully sun will fix this at
some point in the future.
