Seems that I ought to explain why I need this. I do Java programming
on FreeBSD (well, porting some of our server side components over). It
is not realistic to view over 2000 threads in top. I just need to know
the thread count in the parent process to get a grip on how our
process is doing. Say that the thread count >1000 is normal, and if it
drops to 500 then I have to fire up a debugger or something like that.
