But this appeared already when I upgraded from FreBSD 6.3 to 7.0. The bug appears on all 7.++ machines, i386 and amd64. Everything is OK with single-threaded processes, but processes with multiple threades are reported incorrectly by top. Anybody else has experienced this? Also, there was a strange phenomenon with FreeBSD router with pf. the rule in question is: 'scrub in all' I do not knw, if this has anything to do with 7.1 issue. Maybe it is not just a good idea to have a 'scrub' rule on router...
