I've been looking into the issue with vmstat not working properly,and I've 
narrowed it down to the getuptime() routine. 

       if (boottime == 0)
               kread(X_BOOTTIME, &boottime, sizeof(boottime)); 


After the kread function, boottime is equal to 0, which fails. 

I modified a copy of vmstat to use sysctl, but that isn't the right thing to 
use (was able to run the program though). 


Thanks, 

Patrick
