Re: [PATCH 2/2] Put more info in NT_PRPSINFO Linux notes

Thanks.

I am still hacking on the remote code in order to implement the stat
operation on it, but I noticed that it will involve some more time so I
decided to do a different approach in order to get this patch in.

What I did was basically read (via target_fileio_read_stralloc) and
parse the `/proc/PID/status' file, which contains both UID and GID
numbers (the only information I need from the `stat' call after all).
It was easy enough to do and worked fine on all targets, so I'm sending
this version of the patch for review and hopefully approval.  The
ChangeLog entry is still the same, and everything else is untouched
except for the linux_fill_prpsinfo function.

OK to apply?
