If you've upgraded to -current, you'll need to build top using the -current port. (Not sure about -stable, but I'd have thought a simple re-compile would suffice). If you're trying to do something strange like running a 2.2 kernel on a 2.1 system, this is not recommended and there may be other problems waiting to trip you up... -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
