Manual page says:

KERN_PROC
Return selected information about specific running processes.
For the following names, an array of pairs of struct proc fol-
lowed by corresponding struct eproc structures is returned, whose
size depends on the current number of such objects in the system.
---
I believe that this is no longer the case.
First off, as far as I understand it, 'struct eproc' is gone. Second problem is that this sysctl doesn't return any pairs,
What it actually returns is an array of 'struct kinfo_proc'.
