The TREE_RESCANS #define (formerly TREE_ONEPASS) has been eliminated and the approach to forest view mode redesigned. The chance of dangling children has been eliminated and overhead reduced. We now order processes on start_time (non-display) and are therefore immune to any pid, ppid or tgid anomalies when pid values wrap. The new algorithm also accommodates any distortions caused by the 3.3 kernel 'hidepid' provisions -- something guaranteed to produce dangling children under the former approach.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
