: The code that causes the parent to inherit the child's p_estcpu when
: the child exits is broken. It was adding the parent's and child's
: p_estcpu together.

: However, the child process is initialized with the parent's estcpu,
: so simply adding it back in to the parent will cause the parent's
: p_estcpu to blow up after only a few fork/exec's.

Oops. I take it back. It's a bug, but my bug fix is not right, you
don't want to apply that patch :-(
It turns out to be a somewhat more complex problem. I'm going to have
to experiment a bit more to find the right solution.
