I'd like to expand a bit more on this issue. I don't think it's just a
formatting issue, now that I'm actually using this to develop my own
plugin I noticed that the values I get from the task.mm.start_stack,
task.mm.arg_start and several other values are actually negative
numbers. task.mm.start_brk/task.mm.brk seem to be ok, not sure why.
