Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.6-2
Severity: normal

If /proc is not mounted, calling top silently returns the user to the
shell, on an empty screen, with the terminal in "echo off" setting.

It would be good if top would fail more gracefully in that case, for
example with an error message, and a properly de-initialized terminal.

Greetings
Marc
