         /* Add our usage into the usage of all our children. */
         if (p->p_numthreads == 1)
                 ruadd(p->p_ru, &p->p_rux, &p->p_stats->p_cru, &p->p_crux);

Is the comment wrong or the code wrong?  This adds our child's rusage to 
our own.  I assume the comment is actually wrong and that we're adding our 
children's resource usage to our own so the pstats structure can be freed 
and our parent can aggregate it all together.
