Ahh!
Should we make it so the header printed by show_state is aligned properly
with the data? If yes, please consider the below patch.

From: Chris Caputo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[PATCH 2.6.19-rc6] sched: correct output of show_state
At present show_state prints a header the does not match the output of
show_task, as follows:
-
sibling
task PC pid father child younger older
init S 00000000 0 1 0 2 (NOTLB)
-
This patch corrects the output of show_state so that the header is
aligned with the data, ala:
-
free sibling
task PC stack pid father child younger older
init S 00000000 0 1 0 2 (NOTLB)
-
