    *
    * Difference b/w Solaris PT_NOTE and BSD PT_NOTE:
    *
    *     In Solaris there are two PT_NOTE segments the first PT_NOTE (if present)
    *     contains /proc structs in the pre-2.6 unstructured /proc format. the last
    *     PT_NOTE has data in new /proc format.
    *
    *     In Solaris, there is only one pstatus (process status). pstatus contains
    *     integer register set among other stuff. For each LWP, we have one lwpstatus
    *     entry that has integer regset for that LWP.
    *
    *     Linux threads are actually 'clone'd processes. To support core analysis
    *     of "multithreaded" process, Linux creates more than one pstatus (called
    *     "prstatus") entry in PT_NOTE. Each prstatus entry has integer regset for one
    *     "thread". Please refer to Linux kernel src file 'fs/binfmt_elf.c', in particular
