Hi,

with a fresh -current from today 'ps' from time to time stops my machine.
I discovered this when building a new net-snmpd. It always stops at the
line saying

checking for correct flags to ps...

I had a look at the configure script. It does a 'ps' with different
options. Runnning 'ps' by hand as root stops the machine sometimes for:

ps -el
ps axc

truss doesn't show anything (obviously the system stops too fast), DDB
doesn't help. No idea how to track this down...
