	OK.  I could believe that it is a feature, but I believe the behavior
now is inconsistent.
Notice that in the script below, the environment variables and values can
be viewed, but the start time cannot.  Also, what does "paged out" in this
context mean?  How can a process be paged out if there is no swap space in
use? (See below?)
	It strikes me that if we can show the environment for a so-called
paged out process, but not its start time, there's something goofy going on
here and it's probably a bug.  And, again, what does paged out mean here?
