task_set_name is a new rpc that was added to gnumach recently:

http://git.sceen.net/hurd/gnumach.git/commitdiff/877a319c94619e51a0103b9f201523b269588eb0

Unfortunately, the client side rpc stub has not made it into whatever
library that the client stubs for the kernel are supposed to go (I'm
not sure where myself... libc?).  Until this happens (hopefully soon),
you can use this patch:
