[Cialug] rootkit bug?

I think there might be a problem in chkrootkit.  When it checks lkm, I get:
ps: error: Thread display not implemented.

And then I get the syntax screen for ps.  I also noticed in the log posted later
in this thread, it looks like lkm was skipped.  It says: "Checking `lkm'...
Checking `rexedcs'... not found".  Notice there isn't a result for lkm before it
starts checking rexedcs.

Looking at chkproc.c, it uses "ps mauxw", whereas chkrootkit 0.44 used "ps
auxw".  Evidently procps-2.0.7-11 can't handle thread display.
