On 2.8 BSD, we tend to have a lot of ()'s show up in /usr/ucb/w and
/usr/ucb/ps listings.  I thought this would be avoided by moving the
bcopy to u_comm out of the ACCT define in /usr/sys/sys/acct.c and
always defining u_comm in user.h, but some still show up.  For example,
a person could be running w and he'd show up as ().  Does anyone know
why this is happening and how to get the command/args filled in more
often?  Thanks.
