The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

what version of procps is installed?

i remember a problem very similar to this from earlier this year:  using
the -u option with ps would core dump it every time.  upgrading to a newer
procps fixed it.

i've found 2.0.23 and above to be quite stable on every machine i've run
it on, including the main squid proxy server at work (128MB, 4GB cache -
upgrading soon to 8GB), and on my news machine (40MB, 2.5GB news spool).

they probably dont do anywhere near as much work as master, but they are
both under a fairly heavy workload...
