>Description:

The current curproc marker in DDB's ps output ('>') together with send-pr
often creates havoc on the contents of the PR whenever ps output is
included.  Several PRs submitted by me have had large portions of their
contents split and moved about in the stored report.  I therefore suggest
that the current marker be changed to '*' (or something else).  

>How-To-Repeat:
Submit a bug report with a DDB ps listing using send-pr or send-pr.el.
Retrieve the report via the web interface.  Piece together the mangled
report.

Personally, I think the right approach would be to fix the PR interface 
to not lose in this fashion, though. Needs some thought.

 these are 'curlwp' markers now.  you can find this still
 being a problem via eg:

 crash> show proc 0
 [ .. ]
 > lwp 97 [idle/3] ffffc81b48b992c0 pcb ffff93849ac02000

 (i would rather fix gnats, but this i not often a problem now,
 as the 'ps' output doesn't use this format anymore.  i had to
 search to find it, since i never use this method.)
