Bug Description

Binary package hint: htop

(also reported upstream http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2577889&group_id=108839&atid=651633; screenshots are at http://andika-lives-here.blogspot.com/2009/02/tweaking-htop-display.html)

on my system with 32 GB RAM, processes with VIRT > 10 GB will use 6
characters, which make display unaligned.

%4.1 instead of %3.1 Edit (627 bytes, text/plain)

on a second thought, field width 4 "%4.1fG" is more proper than my previous one "%3.1fG", so new patch

I have applied this patch to the Ubuntu package and uploaded it. I would appreciate someone on Jaunty (with big processes >10gb VIRT) to test it (htop 0.8.1-3ubuntu1) and report any breakages etc.
