This bug was fixed in the package procps - 1:3.3.3-2ubuntu9 --------------- procps (1:3.3.3-2ubuntu9) saucy; urgency=low
* Avoid SEGV if file2str should read zero bytes. This is a backport of 526bc5df from upstream. When utility buffers were introduced for file2str read requests, a subtle change was inadvertently introduced such that a read of zero no longer returns a -1 value. This returns to the behavior to returning -1 on zero byte reads.
