this only lets you get RUSAGE_SELF data for the target... for many
processes it's more important to get the RUSAGE_CHILDREN data... and
really i'm having a hard time imagining a use for this code which on

proper accounting subsystem... (of which i understand there are two or
three competining implementations in progress?)

do you have a use case for this new code?
