A make world was not done, and if someone would donate a reasonable
machine to me to let me do so -- it would be very nice.  I probably
have the least powerful machine of any major contributor (and have
only one.)  Those with expensive high power machines are welcome to
help.  (Machines bigger than a 3 yr old 20MB 486/66 :-)).

The kernel did work -- and there was some chaff (a bug in sys_process.c)
-- oh, by the way did the 1Tb changes break things -- or was it the header file
changes/improvements????  All I had to do to get ps working again was to
rebuild libkvm/ps....
