If fstat were working correctly, you could just run
fstat -p <pid>
then look for the line which contains the word ``text'', then use find
on the listed mount point to find the listed inode number.
But fstat seems broken.
The man page claims that you'll get a list of the open file table for
the process identified by number, plus special entries `wd' for the
current working directory, `tr' for trace file, etc., plus `text' for
the open executable file, which is what you want. But with 2.1R I
can't get any `text' entries to appear to matter what I try.
