top SIGSEGV after running for a while
Hello!
I have been experiencing crashes in top after it runs for a day or maybe a few days. I usually have top running in some terminal in the background and every few days I tab to that terminal and it has died.
This is top from procps-ng 4.0.5-dirty. I am using Arch Linux with top shipped by the OS (Arch package procps-ng). I haven't reported this to the arch bugtracker (I can't log in right now) but I would be pretty surprised if that's an issue. Here is the Arch build script: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/procps-ng/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD. The only patch it applies is cherrypicking !247 (merged) onto 4.0.5. uname -r is "6.16.1-arch1-1".
The error message is:
signal 11 (SEGV) was caught by top, please
send bug reports to <procps@freelists.org>
