could be an idea to use something thread specific as it is possible that 
kernel therads may some day become actual threads
in one "kernel" process.  The things that stop this at the moment 
include that there is no p_comm field in a thread so
'ps' would ahve nothing to show to identify what the threads were..  I 
have been considerring adding a td_desc
field to threads to be used in teh same way...
