Right, I understand that we need to know what versions we have and that
is the confusing part.  I reported that from the start.  I guess the
confusion lies in that we simply upgraded to Wheezy from Squeeze.
Nothing more -- no partial upgrades, no cross distribution upgrades,
nothing.  We then started getting the issue reported in this bug.  We
took notice and reported in this bug report that ps reported a different
version than other programs in the same procps-ng package.  That seems
to point towards something being incorrect in the Wheezy upgrade; bad
dependency requirements, etc.

Only after it started locking our server up regularly did we try to
upgrade to Sid which did not fix the issue.  I think the dependency was
satisfied using an old library so it did not upgrade it.

We've since forced JUST libprocps0 to upgrade and have no yet received
the error.  That's not to say it's fixed yet but a step in the right
direction.

I'm saying that it should be fixed in 3.3.4-2 which is in testing.
unstable has 3.3.8-2

3.3.3-3 is the stable version.
So if you have some things that are 3.3.3 and some things that are 3.3.4
you have something sitting across distributions which will get
confusing.

To make sense of this bug report, let alone try to work out what is
going on, the versions actually being used are important.
