Oh wait, I think I see what you're saying: that regardless of IL, the
output of 'ps' depends solely on the Cygwin shared process table and not
being able to open a process object.

But then, ps -W would depend on IL, since that includes non-Cygwin
processes that aren't included in the Cygwin pid table, right?
