I noticed this a long time ago and forgot that it was still broken in 2.5.
This patch makes the state letter in the pr_sname field in core dumps
correct for stopped and zombie threads. The order needed to be changed when
the TASK_* values changed. This matches the letters used in sched.c:show_task.
Thanks,
Roland
