25 I see the same, but it would be strange if it were an issue with the version.
26 I was curious if this was perhaps a case of a change without a revbump, but it
27 turns out that procinfo (unless I missed something, procps in the subject line
28 must be incorrect) has not been changed since 2013 (ignoring stabilisations
29 and removals):

32
33 (There is no git log, since it hasn't been changed since then.)
34
35 So that's weird...
