Patches

Get latest version of the source from upstream git.

git clone git://gitorious.org/procps/procps.git

and use 'git format-patch' format. It is fine to attach patches as

compressed tar balls. When you are about to send very large number

include a description of what the diff is for or I'm likely to ignore
