[Slackbuilds-users] iotop longer not work

[Карабанов Алексей]

Hello.
After update to Slackware 14.2 i found crash iotop.
Function parse_proc_pid_status(pid) in module data.py read lines from /proc/*/status
and split them by ':\t' delimiter.
Status file can contain empty strings (EOL only).
Therefore, function can't split line.

I created very simple patch for iotop v0.6 to check exist delimiter in string.

However, in git repository http://repo.or.cz/iotop.git/shortlog
exist commits for fixed this problem.

I provide use my patch or use newer version for git repo.

Patch attached.

I have pushed a patch from another member and tested to work in my
branch. It will be part of the next public update.
