Summary: check_procs 1.40alpha1

Initial Comment:
On AIX 5L the maximum command agruments display 
with a ps command appears to be 2045 chars.  When 
using the check_procs on a WebSphere application 
server, the check_procs segementation faults.  I mod'd 
the MAX_INPUT_BUFFER variable to 2048 and recompiled 
the check_procs binary and every thing works fine.

I have tested this on AIX 5.1 & AIX 5.2 and the fix works.

Thanks,
Ralph

I have marked this bug a pending - it will automatically
close in 15 days if there is no response. I think the
problem is resolved, but I do not have access  to AIX for
testing.

Thanks for the bug report.

Although I don't quite see where the segfault would be
created, you clearly have put your finger on a problem. I
diid not, however, want to replace an arbitrary 1024 with an
equally arbitrary 2048.

Instead I malloc more memory if needed. However, I do not
have access to AIX. can you try a build from CVS or the
snapshot? You're can be sure you have my proposed fix if you
run check_procs --version and get:

  check_procs (nagios-plugins 1.4.0alpha1) 1.26

Thanks
