and killing failed

avoiding race between readdir and /proc (found by Boris Zentner)
- make install no longer changes BINDIR and MANDIR if they already exist
- changed psmisc.<version>.lsm to psmisc-<version>.lsm for consistency
Changes from version 14 to 15 (16-JUN-1997)

Andries Brouwer)
- fuser: fuser -a /a /a /b no longer merges the first two entries

avoid annoyance messages from sunsite's archive scripts
Changes from version 13 to 14 (19-APR-1997)
=============================

- fuser: INET domain sockets can now be specified as
[local_port][,[remote_host][,[remote_port]]]

compilation with some ancient kernels.

- killall: man page didn't reset font properly
- killall: now tries harder to handle very long names (> 15 characters)
(proposed by Erik Thiele)
- killall: new option -e to require exact name match
- killall: now lists PIDs if invoked as "pidof" (proposed by Peter Daum)
- minor Makefile change to eliminate need to patch for some versions of Linux

=============================
- fuser is now able to look up INET and UNIX domain sockets
- pstree: new option -n to sort its output by PID

Changes from version 10 to 11 (20-SEP-1995)
=============================

obtaining values from linux/sched.h:struct task_struct doesn't work anymore)

===========================
- fuser: now works with Plan 9 semantics (i.e. what recent kernels use;
reported by Harald Koenig, Nick Simicich, and others)
- fuser: now also scans /proc/*/maps
- fuser: fixed NULL pointer dereferencing when processes are created while
fuser is running (fix by Pauline Middelink)
- fuser: now resets effective uid to real uid before killing, thereby making

- man pages: minor corrections and improvements
Changes from version 6 to 7
===========================

now correctly handled.
- fuser: added -s for silent operation.
- fuser: added non-zero return code if no processes using any file are
found.
- pstree and fuser: non-printable characters in command names (fuser: also
