Hi!

I've made the long-awaited fix for procps-1.01 package to support the new
/proc/meminfo format introduced in recent 2.1.4X kernels. You probably already
have some sort of this fix but

1st I couldn't find any fixed package yet and
2nd Maybe this is somehow cleaner (tested with both 2.0.29 and
pre-2.1.44-2).

Keep hacking!

Note:
You'll need to make the following symlinks by hand as the DIFF
format has no symlinks capability (at least I don't know about
any).

ln -s ../proc/sysinfo.c procps-1.01/xcpustate/sysinfo.c
ln -s ../proc/sysinfo.h procps-1.01/xcpustate/sysinfo.h
ln -s . procps-1.01/xcpustate/proc

The DIFF can be found at
"ftp://k332.feld.cvut.cz/pub/local/short/procps-1.01-fix.diff.gz".

P.S.: Please check the xcpustate as it doesn't work for me even in the
original package. I didn't bother with tracking it down as I dislike this
X ugly stuff. Anyway, I think that I hadn't broken anything in it by this patch.

P.P.S.: Replies directly to me <short@k332.feld.cvut.cz> or <cblake@bbn.com>
as this is a little bit offtopic to linux-kernel list, although it is
probably in interest for bleeding-edge ppl.
