This regression was introduced by debian/patches/psmisc_strcpy_overflow in 22.15-2. Debian released a fixed this regression with 22.16-1.

With only a quick glance it looks like a combination of at least 2 upstream commits, and possibly more, collectively fix this bug. More investigation is needed.
