Process state is 'stopped'. I think we can stay at this, as all libs are
'stopped' most of the time. Anyway, perhaps you're right, I'll look at the
procfs.c when I'll be back home.

In which a theme I am not specific? As for the libs I miss, I meant
dynamic linker & stuff. So that process does not actually have to actively
"open" anything, but the system does all necessary linking automatically
at the time the bin is loaded.
