[patch] debian already has a patch for this

proc_version_constructor.patch (text/plain), 1.24 KB, created by Chris Coleman on 2010-11-17 20:44:20 UTC

Description: Call libproc constructors in strict order
 Having one constructor depend on another means if the order is reversed
 you get a different result. Patched based on idea by Tom Evans.
