I think that should do it. I was testing a slightly different fix,
but that one looks clearner. Part of the problem is that kvm_getprocs
has a completly stupid API. Since it's reasionable that you could get
no entries from your query, you damn well should be able to return the
appropriate pointer (NULL) but someone wasn't thinking very hard
and NULL is the error condition.
