rectified so that it always correctly returns a positive value, thus providing users with accurate data..

* If the user pressed "f" whilst running top and selected a low number of fields, erroneous and jumbled
text would appear at the top of the screen. The top utility has now been modified so that the text clears
correctly and the output is displayed as one would expect.
* The vmstat utility has a field entitled "Time stolen from a virtual machine." Unfortunately, the addition
of the "-w" switch had an adverse impact upon the way this information was output. Consequentially,
when vmstat was run in default mode, the field's header was missing and when it was run with the "-w"
option, it disappeared altogether. A patch has now been added and, as a result, the field now displays
correctly at all times.
(BZ#558475
* The "pmap -x" command was not displaying the resident set size (RSS) for process ids. No figures
were appearing in the column. A patch has been applied so that the figures for this field are now
correctly calculated and displayed.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated procps package, which resolves these issues.
1.167. pykickstart
1.167.1. RHBA-2010:0248: bug fix and enhancement update
An updated pykickstart package that fixes two bugs and adds three enhancements is now available.
The pykickstart package is a python library used to manipulate kickstart files.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
* The anaconda installation system would crash when attempting to write guest installation files
to a iscsi connected host. This was because pykickstart did not specify an iscsi port for use in the
installation. This behaviour has been corrected and pykickstart now specifies a default iscsi port.

(BZ#547678
)
* The update which enabled the --hvargs boot option in pykickstart (see
anaconda to a return the error: "KeyError: 'hvArgs'" and exit the installation. A patch has been applied
to kickstart.py to correct this.
This update also adds the following enhancements:
* pykickstart now has an additional bootloader option (--hvargs) which allows kernel arguments for the
hypervisor to be specified in the kickstart file.
* pykickstart now adds the kickstart line number of a script to anaconda error logs if that script causes
the installation to fail. This assists with debugging kickstart installation problems.
