[PATCH] fix problem with ver_linux script and procps version

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.
