Hi,

About a month ago I sent two patches to killall.  The more important
of the two was:

since readlink is not required to (and on some platforms does not even
if it has room to) NUL-terminate its buffer.

Is there anything I can do to help move this forward (for example, do
you want test cases, or should I put up a tree based on the upstream
git repository)?

If it's just life being busy, I can understand, and sorry for the
noise.  None of this is particularly urgent; I'd just rather get
everything in order while it's fresh in my memory.

Thanks for taking care of procps and psmisc.  It's nice that these
programs still just work™.
