I've been receiving a ton of messages from the FreeBSD mailing lists
from root@spase.nl with no subject.
Anybody know what's up?

Hi,
Since some weeks, I run xsystats+rpc.rstatd to get information. rpc.rstatd
receive signal 11 one or two times in a day. I also got the following
configuration (reported by top) where I was not able to run the ps
program nor to kill ps and rpc.rstatd.

I decided to create a kernel with -g and to dump a core (break to debugger
and panic) when such a story occurs. If I strip the obtained kernel
(current Friday morning GMT) using strip -x as said in the handbook I get:
checking for core dump.. savecore _dumpsize not in namelist and
rstatd: Can't get namelist
If I run strip with no parameter instead of strip -x I get:
checking for core dump.. savecore _dumpdev not in namelist.
Note that strip -d seems to work ok.
