[X4U] getting PID (null) processes in activity monitor when launching Micrsoft Excel (Part 1 of 2)

[LAL]

I am running a PPC G4 17" mac running 10.5.8

When launching Excel 2004, i recently noticed that 2 "(null)"  
processes come up in the Activity Monitor's windows.

The PID # is 785 and in Part 2m 783.

When inspecting these 2 processes, and look in "open files and ports"  
in the inspection window of Activity Monitor, I get the following
PID 785:
