pidof understands %PPID, so scripts can skip their own shell
- What was broken
- Scripts check whether another copy of themselves is running with pidof -o %PPID. The Rust pidof rejected %PPID, so the check always said nothing was running.
- What I changed
- pidof now reads %PPID as the process that started it, and other values as before.
- Why it matters
- Cron jobs and init scripts that guard against running twice work again.

pmap takes memory addresses written with 0x
- What was broken
- Asking pmap for a range of memory with addresses like 0x1000 failed with a parse error. The original tool accepts them with or without the 0x.
- What I changed
- I made pmap drop a leading 0x or 0X before reading an address, for a single address and both ends of a range.
- Why it matters
- Address ranges copied from other tools work as typed.
