I have a recent build of FreeBSD 4.0 stable (supped 3/23/2000) and I'm having the following problems:

dogbert# uname -a
FreeBSD dogbert.bellnetworks.net 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Fri Mar 24 12:44:30 GMT 2000     jerry@dogbert.bellnetworks.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386
dogbert# ps -x
ps: proc size mismatch (24012 total, 1056 chunks)
dogbert# w
 2:41PM  up 49 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.05, 0.02, 0.00
USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
w: proc size mismatch (31320 total, 1056 chunks): Undefined error: 0
dogbert# 
dogbert# top
kvm_open: proc size mismatch (31320 total, 1056 chunks)
top: Out of memory.
dogbert# 


This problem started after I cvsup'd the source and did a make world.  I also recompiled the kernel using that source tree.  I ran a 'truss ps' and 'truss w' and saw that there was a call to /etc/malloc.conf that was failing.  Per the malloc(3) man page, I did a 'ln -s 'A>>' /etc/malloc.conf'.

Any ideas?  What other info would be helpful?

Jerry
