            Bug ID: 254986
           Summary: w: proc_compare() call is no-op since 1997
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: yuripv@FreeBSD.org

turned proc_compare() into no-op by only calling it with one of the argumen=
ts
being NULL, so that the other argument always "wins" and is considered the
"most interesting" process, and we never call proc_compare() again because =
of
the NULL check.

I had review D25398 (abandoned) for this, but I'm simply not sure if removi=
ng
proc_compare() is correct way to handle this instead of fixing it properly,=
 so
I'm filing PR in case anyone else wants to take care of it.
