>Description:

	htop is no longer showing the command of the process, as well as
	other fields.

	With 3.2.0 I only get these fields in the default display:

	PID+USER       PRI  NI  VIRT   RES

	With htop-3.1.2nb1 I was getting the expected fields:

	PID+USER       PRI  NI  VIRT   RES S CPU% MEM%   TIME+  Command

	The same htoprc is being used with both versions:

	# Beware! This file is rewritten by htop when settings are changed in the interface.
	# The parser is also very primitive, and not human-friendly.
	fields=0 48 17 18 38 39 40 2 46 47 49 1

	sort_direction=1
	hide_threads=1

	shadow_other_users=0
	show_thread_names=1

	left_meters=LeftCPUs Memory Swap
	left_meter_modes=1 1 1
	right_meters=RightCPUs Tasks LoadAverage
	right_meter_modes=1 2 2

>How-To-Repeat:

	Upgrade htop to 3.2.0 and run it.

>Fix:

	A workaround is to remove ~/.config/htop/htoprc and configure
	all settings from scratch.

 This is probably not an issue with the packaging but rather upstream
 functionality. I guess field "40" is SHR (shared memory), which
 apparently is not available on NetBSD. However, older versions of htop
 just ignored the fact that the field did not exist, and continued on
 with the fields after it. With 3.2.0 it seems that htop stops showing
 any fields after the unavailable "40".

 With a home directory (or dot files) shared between hosts running
 different versions of htop, the behaviour of versions before 3.2.0 is
 more useful and thus preferred.
