Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-3
Severity: normal

On Etch, i386 machines properly sort processes by their start time while amd64 
strictly orders them by their PID. "Wrapped" processes thus show up somewhere
else than at the end of the process list.

To reproduce:

Run "ps auxw" often enough (for example, in a "watch" loop) to force a PID
wrap-around, then run "ps auxw" again and check the order.

A colleague tells me that Ubuntu Hardy on i386 has the problem, too, and AFAICT
it's not kernel-related (2.6.17 kernel shows this too)
