+Subject: [PATCH] library: avoid possible segmentation fault, <pids> api
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+[https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/commit/5461b50b1a85c5e556c4cd2739ca8ffdbc69399a]
+
+In the issue referenced below, that SEGV was caused by
+passing a '-1' pid to the procps_pids_select function.
+That value, in turn, is caused by providing a LONG_MAX
+or greater number for what was assigned to an integer.
+
+So, this commit will help ensure we avoid a match when
+we should fail plus skip some unproductive libc calls.
+
+[ the same problem occurs in that old 3.3.17 library ]
