It is my understanding from reading the code that pfind() will only locate processes that are on the `allproc' list (i.e., either runnable or sleeping), but not if the process is on `zombproc' list. Right? The manpage is silent on this. Please also tell me your e-mail address (if desired) to be included into the manpage's AUTHORS section.
