Hi

Proc::ProcessTable does not known about all the states found in Linux
source under fs/proc/array.c [1].

 [1] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=464763cf1c6df632dccc8f2f4c7e50163154a2c0

When Proc::ProcessTable encounters such a process, it returns

	ppt_warn("Ran into unknown state (hex char: %x)", (int) prs->state_c);

i.e. for tracing stop processes, unknown state (hex char: 74).

There is a bugreport already upstream for the 'X (dead)' case [2].
