One is usually only lucky that ps will continue to work between kernel revs. What you need to do is to rebuild libkvm, and then various programs that use it including ps, w, and a few others. Make sure that you re-cvsup libkvm and ps. All of these steps aren't always needed, and that is where we get caught with people who don't know about this problem :-(. (Basically, the abstraction for our interface between user and kernel data structures is in need of work.) -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com
