I recently installed 3.1-release off CD's. Everything was fine - running perfect. Than one day for no reason at all - no new kernel - no odd shutdowns - `ps' all of a sudden outputs "ps: bad namelist". So I proceeded to cvsup the 4.0-current src tree and after reading the UPDATING in /usr/src I made the world _twice_ and than built a new kernel in hops that the ps problem would go away. Now not only is `ps' _still_ broken - but now it seems that a traditional shutdown now corrupts the wtmp/utmp producing odd things when doing `uptime'. This is _not_ the only box this has happened to suddenly! Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for any help in this matter.
