Nice one!

Could you report this upstream? https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/issues

Sure, I did: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/issues/11

Thanks! I'll incorporate a fix as soon as one is available and approved upstream.

Upstream seems to be fixed but it has another problem.

* v3.3.11 in arch - crashes if '-t' option is given.
* v3.3.11 in upstream - crasehs if '-t' option is *not* given.
* master (b2f49b1) in upstream - not crashes but '--color' option makes all characters yellow. See https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/issues/12

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, if there isn't a single patchset I can pull to fix this issue entirely, I'm inclined to just leave our package a stock 3.3.11. Better have upstream bugs than introduce our own.
