[PATCH] fix for hidden-task problem

It's bad to make (CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_DETACHED) tasks
be _completely_ hidden. Resource consumption is hard
to track down if a user can hide a task from /bin/ps.

This patch, supported by the procps-3.1.13 release,
gives admins the ability to search for such tasks.
The top-level /proc directory remains uncontaminated.
