That one is quite buggy. The parser is broken ("ps -o %p" fails), you can get a core dump if you get unlucky with the System.map file, the BSD-style process selection is incorrect... I've fixed about 100 bugs and introduced only a few. What you really ought to use is the Debian package. That gives you my source plus a few fixes that I don't have yet. Head over to www.debian.org and drill down to the "unstable" package. There you will find a source tarball and a patch file for it.
