GNU time reports incorrect maximum RSS
Issue
- GNU time can print out the maximum RSS usage of its subprocess. The ru_maxrss value returned by the wait4 syscall is in units of kilobytes, but GNU time incorrectly treats this as a number of pages, multiplying the value by 4 before displaying it.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Time package's version before
time-1.7-38.el6
