It seems my testcode is bad, or possibly its good for finding some
problems with the library.

(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/csmall/Projects/procps/procps/test

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I'll attach my test program. I'm probably doing something wrong but it
means the library should be saying what and not crashing about it
either.

I'll eventually write more test scripts for the library and in those
I'll be doing things like sending nulls for parameters etc. We've got
most caught, but obviously not this one.
