Yes, that's unfortunate that the very design of the Hurd makes it hard:
exec knows the binary name, proc knows the pid. Nobody knows it all. A
solution could be to have gnumach find out in the proc memory space
where the task/pid association is. Or you modify the proc server to dump
the task/pid association on each process spawn.

Mmm, the command column is normally only empty if the page got swapped
out. If you disable the swap completely, there shouldn't be a problem.
