Description Andrew G. Morgan 2021-10-01 23:34:31 UTC 
Created attachment 299055 [details]
don't allocate memory at start up

Since the startup of libcap doesn't generally require supporting
a non-default /proc directory, we should avoid allocating memory
to support the default.

Please consider adopting the attached patch.
