The problem is right here; the process does appear, but as bash, not as
scum. I don't know which is the correct behavior though, as ps -aux shows
it as bash ./scum, so scum is a parameter to bash. BTW, ps -acux on SunOS
4.1.3 shows the process as bash, too...
The changes are trivial, but before changing anything I'd like to hear
what other people think about this issue - whether the name of the process
as appears in /proc/<pid>/stat should be the name of the interpreter (for
compatibility reasons) or the name of the interpreted script.
Here's the patch, in case anyone is interested...
