Lsof 4.77 Patches

Lsof 4.77 has the following patches:

linux.patch	Patches: lsof_4.77_src/dialects/linux/dproc.c

			 Importance: major for some Linux kernels

			 Function: this patch causes lsof to ignore
				   Linux /proc/<PID>/maps entries that
				   have zero device and node numbers.
				   Some recent Linux kernels put notes
				   for some such entries in their path name
				   fields, leading lsof to object when
				   it can't stat(2) the path names.

OpenBSD.patch	Patches: lsof_4.77_src/dialects/n+obsd/dnode.c

			 Importance: minor

			 Function: this patch enables lsof to compile on
				   OpenBSD systems which have no /proc
				   file system

solaris10-0606.patch
		Patches: lsof_4.77_src/dialects/sun/machine.h

			 Importance: major

			 Function: this patch enables lsof to compile and
				   run properly on the 6/06 distribution
				   of Solaris 10 and other Solaris 10
				   distributions with Sun patches that
				   cause <sys/kstat.h> to need definitions
				   from <sys/types32.h>.

				   A cast problem that causes incorrect
				   reporting of port numbers is corrected
				   by rearranging the order in which
				   <sys/types32.h> is included.

				   This patch is unimportant to all other
				   Solaris versions below 10.

Patches may be applied in the top level lsof source directory,
.../lsof_4.77_src, with Larry Wall's patch program.  Be prepared
for permission objections, which can be over-ridden with appropriate
chmod commands.
