Long ago, I found a way for a nonprivileged user to get three processes with
the same process name.

One of them was to log in a terminal with a fixed hardware name (like _TTA0:) 
after another process already changed its name to that (and a third process has 
a process name=user name, to block the automatic change of the process name to 
user name by LOGINOUT when logging in).  You now have two processes with the 
process name _TTA0:.

I forgot how I got the third process.

Completely useless, but whatever.
