Hi Matthew and ZhengPeng

Matthew, thanks first of all for the report and patch. Furtunately we (pkg-perl Debian Group) are subscribed here, so noticed that.

I have updated libproc-processtable-perl with your patch in Debian and uploaded as 0.45-4 in unstable. So you can sync it as it is to Ubuntu raring. I have keep the following changelog entry to give credit to you (but renamed the patch to match the Debian bugnumber):

 libproc-processtable-perl (0.45-4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Add 696874-fix-Buffer-overflow-in-pctcpu.patch.
     Fix for buffer overflow in pctcpu. On systems with more than 9 logical
     CPUs, a process can use more than 999% of CPU and overflow pctcpu.
     Thanks to Matthew L. Dailey and Zhengpeng Hou (Closes: #696874)
     (LP: #1093289)

Regards,
Salvatore
