File 0038-Update-help-files.patch of Package procps.16210
From 8e7ef322e21b2232d2a1ff9482ec8ce2808fc5c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Craig Small <csmall@enc.com.au>

Subject: [PATCH] Update help files
Benno Schulenberg suggested some changes to the help messages
to provide some consistency and clarity for both the users and
translators of procps.
The test needed to be updated as the pmap output changed too.
