+Subject: [PATCH] ps: Fix possible buffer overflow in -C option
+
+ps allocates memory using malloc(length of arg * len of struct).
+In certain strange circumstances, the arg length could be very large
+and the multiplecation will overflow, allocating a small amount of
+memory.
+
+Subsequent strncpy() will then write into unallocated memory.
+The fix is to use calloc. It's slower but this is a one-time
+allocation. Other malloc(x * y) calls have also been replaced
+by calloc(x, y)
