What changed recently was what broke it, as usual. :)

I need to work out how to regression test more stuff. I think the "fake
/proc tarball snapshot" approach is probably the best I'm going to get
for ps, but how you test _top_ with that is an open question because all
the deltas would be zero...

(No, I am not making a fake kernel filesystem to feed false data to top
under qemu.)

I added the "numbers don't truncate" logic too, a few days back. (Poking
at wget now...)
