IDLE task has no name?

I've adapted Chris Johns' capture package to provide a process  
monitoring command for EPICS.  Here's a typical display:

There's one minor problem, though.  The 'idle' task has no RTEMS task  
name -- or at least no printable characters in the name.   It would  
be nice if it showed up as 'IDLE'.  Any suggestions on how to do this?
