i caught this in a process listing, and did a double take.

$ ps ax|grep control
31337 ??  I       0:00.09 smtpd: control (smtpd)
$ ps auxw|grep control
_smtpd   31337  0.0  0.0  1592     4 ??  I     21Jan16    0:00.09 smtpd: 
control (smtpd)

i thought it was interesting enough to share given the improbability, and
relation to openbsd. i know processes are going to have this pid often
enough, but many of those processes don't stick around that long, and fewer
form a sentence fragment.
