So utterly broke that the poor "htop" program cannot work at all... oh wait $ strace htop 2>/tmp/e # wait for htop to load and then press 'q' $ cat

So utterly broke that the poor "htop" program cannot work at all... oh wait $ strace htop 2>/tmp/e # wait for htop to load and then press 'q' $ cat /tmp/e | grep ^open | grep /proc | wc -l 49817 htop is essentially "find /proc" with a pretty output. Is htop broken for you?

There’s no need to be snarky, especially when you’re missing the point. htop missing a race on a PID is no big deal. GDB doing so is a critical issue. /proc is nice to have for diagnostics but once again it makes for terrible API.
