Description of problem: The watch command can show the output from a program periodically. The -d option is intended to highlight changes. In some cases chars are highlighted eventhough they have not changed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): procps-2.0.11-6 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. watch -d head /proc/sys/kernel/random/* Actual results: Parts of the first filename is highlighted. Expected results: Only the changing file contents should be highlighted. Additional info: The problem seems to be related to the length of the command line.
