Here is the debian bug report on it.

It looks like the 12.10 repos have the newer version of the procps and
libprocps0 packages which address the problem.
My question being can these newer version be put into place for 12.04 or
am I stuck trying to manually intall a newer version fro the 12.10 repos
or something along those lines to fix this issue.
