>Description:
when ps -p pid is done, the process will show up even kern.ps_showallprocs=0
>How-To-Repeat:
sysctl -w kern.ps_showallprocs=0
ps -p 1
that will show the init process
if someone writes a script to do loop from 1 to certain number to get whole process list, that will be bad (kern.ps_showallprocs=0 will be useless)
