Because it didn't take into account other 'ps' options.  Enabling
or disabling thread info should be an option for all KERN_PROC_foo,
not a separate option.  If I were to change it, I would add

	#define	KERN_PROC_THREADS	0x10000

to <sys/sysctl.h>.  Then allow:

	mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
	mib[1] = KERN_PROC;
	mib[2] = KERN_PROC_UID | KERN_PROC_THREADS;
	mib[3] = pid;

...
