The attached patch seems to fix this


Hi Dr. Fink.

Thanks for catching this AIX bug and the proposed fix.

Unfortunately, your patch leaves us with the residue of a 20+ year old bug that a recent commit (shown below) was intended to fix:

    ps: swat insidious bug with the %cpu' format specifier

So I've taken the liberty of preparing an alternate patch which incorporates your changes plus restores the intent of my original change.

I'll  be sending it to Craig via freelists probably this afternoon.

Regards,

Jim
