What steps will reproduce the problem?  
>>> p = psutil.Process(0)
>>> p.name
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\psutil\psutil.py", line 106, in name
    self.deproxy()
  File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\psutil\psutil.py", line 65, in deproxy
    self._procinfo = _platform_impl.get_process_info(self._procinfo.pid)
  File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\psutil\_psmswindows.py", line 16, in
get_p
rocess_info
    infoTuple = _psutil_mswindows.get_process_info(pid)
WindowsError: [Error 87] Parameter incorrect


PID 0 on Windows refers to "System Idle Process", a special process from

A special case for this process should be implemented so that "name"
property is the only information we provide for it.
