It is *not* a user space issue, it is a regression caused by the kernel
version update. Before the kernel update no perl script was able to
override the string in /proc/<pid>/stat nor the Name in /proc/<pid>/status,
now after the kernel version update any perl script can do. This breaks
the compatibility from SLES11-SP1 to SLES11-SP2 and this is what I call
a regression.

And I'd like to know how to determine the name of the used script below
/proc/<pid>/ with kernels 3.+ with user space tools in SLES11-SP2 to be
able to determine the script name by a system tools like pgrep(1), pkill(1),
pidof(1), and my tools like checkproc(8). This kernel version update has
take the edge off former working tools.
