Package: procps
Version: 3.2.7-11

When using ps or top on a vps debian server pids > 65535 do not display.  

Recompiling procps with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 solved this issue on that 
particular machine.   The errors source is a readdir() call in 
readproc.c:simple_readproc().   I thought it might just be a quirk of the 
machine,  but since the ls application could correctly readdir() and find these 
pids i thought the ps command should be able to as well.
