Yes :)

Very good point, you found a bug in k_getrusage().

I just followed the existing logic, but it seems this logic is bad.

So not only ru_inblock/ru_oublock are multiplied by 3 : others fields as well 
are wrong.

Also the definition of RUSAGE_CHILDREN is not conformant to standard

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/getrusage.html

	"If the value of the who argument is RUSAGE_CHILDREN, information shall be 
	"returned about resources used by the terminated and waited-for children of 
	"the current process

We currently do a sum of rusage stats of still alive children.. thats totally 
wrong...
