Public bug reported:
Quoth the proc(1) manpage:
The format is:
address perms offset dev inode pathname
08048000-08056000 r-xp 00000000 03:0c 64593 /usr/sbin/gpm
In src/proc.c, preload parses the line as follows:
count = sscanf (buffer, "%lx-%lx %*15s %lx %*u:%*u %*u
%"FILELENSTR"s",
The dev field is parsed as decimal integers, but they are actually
hexadecimals. As my root partition's dev happens to be fe:01, preload
doesn't find any executables, and thus doesn't really do anything.
The attached patch should fix the problem.
** Affects: preload (Ubuntu)
