Summary: Solaris 8 check_procs plugin hangs until timeout

Initial Comment:
check_procs (nagios-plugins 1.4.6) 1.57

Always exits with a timeout no matter how long it's given.  

Example 1:

$plugins/check_procs -w 10 -c 20 --metric=CPU -t 10
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds

Example 2:

plugins/check_procs -w 10 -c 20 --metric=CPU -t 60
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 60 seconds

Solaris 8 (Generic kernel -44)
Compiled with gcc 3.4.6 (SPARC) (-O2 -m64)

No errors reported and binary gets created:
Other plugins seem to work fine:

No missing libraries:

$ ldd plugins/check_procs
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/64/libnsl.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>      /usr/lib/64/libsocket.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/64/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/64/libdl.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/64/libmp.so.2
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-100/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1

Truss output:

truss -c ./plugins/check_procs -w 10 -c 20 --metric=CPU -t 10
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds

John,

Can you please try the snapshot at http://nagiosplug.sf.net/snapshot. The
ps command has changed from pst3 to /usr/ucb/ps for Solaris.

I've marked this call in pending. Please update if there is still a
problem.

Ton
