What to send
============
It is much more useful to me if a program really crashes to recompile it
with make "CC=gcc -ggdb -O", run it with "gdb prog" and "run" and send
with make "CFLAGS=-ggdb -O", run it with "gdb prog" and "run" and send
me a stack trace ('bt' command). That said, any bug report is still
better than none.

It might be nice to get rid of miscellaneous compiler warnings, but
don't bend over backwards to do it.
I also like "ps --info" output, even if there isn't a ps problem.
Kernel-Dependent Patches
========================
If you send me patches which are specific to *running* with a particular
kernel version of /proc, please condition them with the runtime determined
variable `linux_version_code' from libproc/kvers.c. It is the same
variable 'linux_version_code' from libproc/version.c. It is the same
number as the macro LINUX_VERSION_CODE for which the kernel /proc fs
code was compiled.
