[PATCH] fix problem with ver_linux script and procps version

From: Burton Windle (bwindle@fint.org)

With the current 2.5 Linux kernel, the ver_linux script prints bad version
info in the Procps line:

Procps 100.

This is because
razor:/giant/linux/scripts# ps --version
Unknown HZ value! (85) Assume 100.
procps version 2.0.7
razor:/giant/linux/scripts# ps --version 2>&1 | awk 'NR==1{print "Procps , $NF}'
Procps 100.

This patch fixes this.

With the patch, ver_linux looks sane again.
