Subject: Programs using kmem always dump core

Programs that use kvm (e.g. ifconfig, savecore, kvm_mkdb at bootup,
but also netstat or ps) dump core on my current machine.  I've
supped the sources at Wed Apr 19 05:01:02 1995 (reported by sup -t)
and did a 'make world -DCLOBBER', so I expect everything on the
system to be up to date.  Checking some of the core dumps shows that
the problem is always in an strcmp call.  Does anybody have a clue
on what's going wrong.  (I can supply more details if needed.)
