Hello Dan

thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Pressing ^T doesn't change anything.

svss@purpurea:~$ top
^T^C
svss@purpurea:~$

I used

svss@purpurea:~$ ktrace top -b -d1
^C
svss@purpurea:~$

(Is this the correct usage? I hope I understood the manpage here.) The
corresponding output from kdump is

svss@purpurea:~$ kdump
  45359 ktrace   RET   ktrace 0
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/sbin/top"
  45359 ktrace   RET   execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/bin/top"
  45359 ktrace   RET   execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/sbin/top"
  45359 ktrace   RET   execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/bin/top"
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1"

A kdump from my machine at home where top is working gives the "same" output
(only the numbers given with execve differ).

"ktrace -di top -b -d1" gives the same output as above.
