Good news ...
make -k buildworld completed
make installworld got a good way through but hit stop errors
The `ps' command started working again
With my fingers crossed, I started make buildworld
It just finished with no errors!!! (boy am I relieved!)
I'm now doing the installworld ... I've already had some good signs,
`ps' started working again after the first `installworld' so this is
looking very hopeful!
I guess the overall lesson is that upgrading a system should always be
taken very seriously, no matter how easy the `make world' target makes
it seem!
Thanks to all who gave suggestions over the past day.

FreeBSD ('BSD'):
No battles to the death are recalled. It is a small Daemon wearing
sneakers. It
is normally found on Internet servers and powerful desktops, and moves
very
quickly. A kill of this poweful creature is enough to tick off any
sysadmin. It
is highly magical, having the power to serve. It resists DoS and SYN
flood
attacks. Nothing is known about its attack.
