Great! I posted an updated webrev for this (replaced snprint with
jio_snprintf):

No. (I don't have access to bugster anymore).

I verified it using htop and by inspecting /proc/$PID/task/$TID/stat.
Unfortuntately, I couldn't get top or ps to show the thread name, but
maybe I'm just stupid (and I did not try very hard).

Also: which of the many repositories do I need to push this to?

Roman
