Summary: check_procs from crashes on Itanium2 SLES10

Initial Comment:
check_procs from HEAD-20061015 build crashes on
Itanium2 SLES10.

Line192: procprog = base_name(procprog);  of
check_procs.c is used incorrectly.

With this line as it is compilation gives the following
warning on all tested by me platforms: OpenSuSE 10.1
i386, SuSE 10.0 x86_64, SLES10 ia64, AIX 5.2: 

check_procs.c: In function `main':
check_procs.c:192: warning: assignment makes pointer
from integer without a cast

but crashes only on Itanium2 platform.

To fix problem comment out line:
procprog = base_name(procprog);
or use construction from 1.4.3 plugins (which was
probably not active):

main ...
...
char *temp_string;
...
temp_string = strdup(procprog);
procprog = basename(temp_string);

According to man 3 basename:
"Both dirname() and basename() may  modify  the
contents  of  path,  so copies should be passed to
these functions.  Furthermore, dirname() and basename()
may return pointers to statically allocated memory whi
ch may be overwritten by subsequent calls."
