your ps and top are out of date from your kernel, or the kernel structures
have been modifed.

if you need gcc 2.7.*, upgrade to 2.2-GAMMA (or shortly, -RELEASE).  We
did the hard work for you. :)  In the meantime, either your kernel source
is broke or you upgraded your kernel source without updating the binaries.
Try fetching ps from the Live Filesystem CD and rebuilding TOP, and/or
reinstalling the kernel source (dists/src/ssys.*).

Initial thoughts, at least.
