Just in case you don't follow the bug tracker to closely I have raised the level of the bug report and the one its merged with to serious. The reason for this is that a lot of other people will cop this bug if they have larger than "normal" set of groups for processes.
I have prepared a minimal patch for wheezy and asked for procps 3.3.3-3 to be unblocked so this bug can not be in wheezy. While I feel pretty bad giving the release team more work at this important time, ps crashing is a pretty bad bug. So, cross your fingers and hope they let the patch through! Again, thanks for the report. It has basically (hopefully) stopped a bad ps going into the wheezy release. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ http://enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org GPG fingerprint: 5D2F B320 B825 D939 04D2 0519 3938 F96B DF50 FEA5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
