Summary: check_procs on Solaris doesn't see zombies

Initial Comment:
I'm running v1.3.0 beta 2.

On Solaris 8 at least, check_procs does not see 
zombies.  This is because the sscanf does not see four 
parameters:

i.e. in check_procs.c:

if (sscanf (input_buffer, PS_FORMAT, PS_VARLIST) >= 
4)

fails.  Under Solaris, ps does not return values for 
command or args, and thus only three values (state, uid, 
ppid) are present.

Suggested fix: fill command and args with empty strings 
before the sscanf, and change the 4 above to a 3. 

I've done this myself (not necessarily neatly) and it 
works.
