As most of you know, this same question has been asked on this list
several times. (Maybe more than 10 times?)  Wouldn't it be helpful to
make the programs that use libkvmstat more friendly?  The error message
like:

	ps: proc size mismatch (xxxx total, yyyy chunks)
	ps: Please consult the manual page for details.

and the manpage like:

	CAVEATS
	     If you see the ``ps: proc size mismatch'' message, you have
	     to either rebuild the kernel or rebuild the programs that
	     use libkvmstat (among which ps is included). Refer to the
	     FreeBSD handbook on how to rebuild them.

will definitely make the users less frustrated.

Thank you,
Eugene
