[procps] [ANNOUNCE] procps 3.1.5

[<pro...@li...>]

This release fixes several serious bugs. Every PID starting with
a digit "9" was hidden. Data corruption, buffer overflow, and   
escape sequence problems from the procps-2.0.xx era have finally
been fixed.

For those of you still upgrading from procps 2.0.xx releases,
you can expect:

* top can sort by any column (old sort keys available too)
* top can select a single user to display
* top can be put in multi-window mode and/or color mode
* vmstat has the -s option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems
* vmstat has the -f option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems
* watch doesn't eat the first blank line by mistake  
* vmstat uses a fast O(1) algorithm on 2.5.xx kernels
* pmap command is SunOS-compatible
* vmstat shows IO-wait time
* pgrep and pkill can find the oldest matching process
* sysctl handles the Linux 2.5.xx VLAN interfaces
* top shows IO-wait time if-and-only-if your kernel computes it 
* most programs 30% to 300% faster (tested on a 450 MHz MPC7400)
* ps has a new "-F" format (very nice, like DYNIX/ptx has)
* ps with proper BSD process selection
* better handling of very long uptimes

There's a pro...@li... mailing list you can
use for feature requests, bug reports, and so on. Use it!
Feedback makes things happen.
