I probably have the least powerful machine of any major contributor (and have only one.) Those with expensive high power machines are welcome to help. (Machines bigger than a 3 yr old 20MB 486/66 :-)). The kernel did work -- and there was some chaff (a bug in sys_process.c) -- oh, by the way did the 1Tb changes break things -- or was it the header file changes/improvements???? All I had to do to get ps working again was to rebuild libkvm/ps.... John dyson@freebsd.org
