f96645a4ebFixed a bug in kstrncpy() that caused mayhem whenever the buffer to be copied into was the same size as the source string - it will keep on filling with zeroes forever. This was a signed/unsigned bug, fixed by making the kstrncpy argument ssize_t instead of size_t. This bug was triggered by Chris Young <teddga@earthlink.net>, by dazzling coincedence - changing OS_VERSION into something with one more character (exactly the same size as the buffer in the kinfo struct).

904cf1f84dA "fix" for bug no. 2 is to check if the process slot has disappeared. Not a really good solution (as it might not catch situations in which this is caused by another bug), but the forrest of checks necessary might be worse than this quick fix - because when looking for the cause, I found some other cases in which the PM would panic as well. See info in bug 2 for details.
