The top of the git repository of newtop does not respect
the personal ~/.toprc and it is not possible to run it
a batch job. It seems also miss support for oom_score
and oom_adjustment. But it does not crash anymore within
small windows least I was not able to do so. Also the
overflow in win_names() is fixed.
