Again, sorry about the late review...

I only have a few minor comments, almost trivial in nature. In
the ChangeLog entry above, watch out that the last 2 lines are
indented using spaces intead of tabs.

The line is too long (soft limit is 74 characters, hard limit is 80).
Suggest using "sizeof (struct procinfo)", which I think is better
than dereferencing a NULL pointer. This is based on guessing that
type procinfo_t is a pointer to struct procinfo, as suggested by
the code in inf_validate_procinfo.

Same as above.
