This bug was fixed in the package procps - 1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.3
---------------
procps (1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.3) precise; urgency=low
* Avoid SEGV if file2str should read zero bytes. This is a backport of
526bc5df from upstream. When utility buffers were introduced for file2str
read requests, a subtle change was inadvertently introduced such that a
read of zero no longer returns a -1 value. This returns to the behavior to
returning -1 on zero byte reads. (LP: #1242746)
