This is easy to explain...
There is this file called /usr/src/linux/system.map or such that ps -U uses
to get all the interesting adresses from. After you have compiled pl6, it's
of course the adresses of pl6... Doesn't work for pl1 (always a good idea:
keep the old sources around, maybe by renaming /usr/src/linux to
/usr/src/linux.old).
For ps to work under pl6, you'll have to recompile it. Worked great for me.
