This is still broken in Roswell - can somebody take a look?
Is this issue still relevant in Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3 and/or 8.0?
Still relevant in 8.0
Still relevant in Fedora Core 3. I recall looking at this some time ago. It does not appear that the Linux kernel collects that information in the task struct for the process making it unavailable for accounting. I'll take another pass through it. There may be nothing we can do but update the documentation.
