   The problem isn't caused by the patch. You would have had the same problem
if you had rebuilt your kernel even without the patch. Apparantly you've
updated the kernel sources (to -stable or -current) without doing a
'make world' after installing the new kernel - causing your ps(8) and w(1)
to be out of date.
