Programs that used /proc were not functioning properly. I figured something was out of sync, so I did make world again and built a new kernel from the same source, with the same results. The following day, I updated my source tree, tried again and it worked fine. I posted to questions@ and got replies from others having the same problem. Do you know if there was something broken in the code then?
