struct kinfo_proc->ki_tsize is inaccurate

Greetings,

    When I use kvm_getprocs() together with KERN_PROC_PID to get process
information, the structure it returns contains an inaccurate ki_tsize (text
segment size) variable.  On my machine, it seems to alternate--seemingly at
random--between 1 and 168, neither of which is correct.  The process in
question is suspended when I make the call (ptrace(PT_TRACE_ME...)).

    Just wondering what the deal is.


Chris
