Hi Craig,

The most recent coverity scan raised several alerts for newlib top and the readproc module.

For the top program they boiled down to 'Intentional' or 'False Positive' which I asked coverity to ignore.

For readproc, they are valid (though minor) 'Resource leaks' so I prepared a patch to address them.

There's one additional patch included that would likely embarrass anyone else.

Regards,

Jim
