With the current 2.5 Linux kernel, the ver_linux script prints bad version
info in the Procps line:
Procps 100.
This is because
razor:/giant/linux/scripts# ps --version
Unknown HZ value! (85) Assume 100.
procps version 2.0.7
razor:/giant/linux/scripts# ps --version 2>&1 | awk 'NR==1{print "Procps , $NF}'
Procps 100.
This patch fixes this.

With the patch, ver_linux looks sane again.
