  After investigating, I can't reproduce any problem.  The glitch I mentioned
yesterday was just a pilot error owing to me using an old script from before
-C and -P became separate options.

  So that's very odd.  Can you check the cached setup.ini in your local
package dir and see if it's damaged or for some other reason doesn't mention
procps?  And try adding "-D -L" to your command-line and see if that makes any
difference?

    cheers,
