Dear Maintainer,
pgrep reports that it cannot allocate 4611686018427387903 bytes when
it is run on current kernels. This is due to a change in the
sysconf(SC_ARG_MAX) value reported by the kernel that causes pgrep to
try to allocate too much memory. The problem has already been fixed
upstream in the following commit.

I believe this was fixed upstream in v3.3.17.
