	Then, No. (2) and (5) procs are marked as rendez.  I looked into
	sources, however, I failed to understand where the No.2 and 5
	processes are called rendezvous.  I know I'm missing something...

They aren't called rendezvous, they're in the rendezvous state.
That field of the ps output is the state of the process, typically a system
call name (such as Wait, Read, etc.) or a process state (Fault, Rendez,
etc.)
