Hi Craig,

You're probably right, let me ponder a small revision.

Actually, I expected you to question the appropriateness of the AGID 
field when -p selecting a sibling thread.  It will show the correct 
autogroup but the others (including the thread group leader) show -1.

Then, if one selects the group leader via -p, the AGID will be correct 
and all the siblings will show -1.

I was prepared to label this a feature, not a bug.  It's a way of 
telling which AGIDs came from the 'task' subdirectory and which came 
from the base /proc/ directory.

And we must remember that to -p1 select a sibling we're dealing with a 
PID that we technically shouldn't know about.  They are not visible with 
a simple 'ls /proc/'.

Thanks for the push,

Regards,

Jim
