procps 2.0.11

Rik and I are pleased to announce version 2.0.11 of procps, the package that contains ps, top, free, vmstat, etc.

Newer versions of procps are required for 2.5 kernels.

Most notable in this release is a handful of bug fixes, support for /proc/pid/wchan, and an all-new free(1) implementation.

Source tarball and RPM packages are available from:

is this strange or what ?

ps aux says:

root  8  0.0  0.0  0  0 ?  SW<  Dec09   0:00 [raid1d]

(both from 2.0.11)

The attached patch does fix this.

 		case P_NICE:

Indeed, this is correct - thanks.

I committed the patch to CVS.
