I had this problem too; also, top claimed that I always had 100% free core- none
of my processes were using any memory! Recompiling ps and top and then doing a
ps -U fixed it.

By the way, I am still using the ps package for 0.97 pl6; I haven't replaced it
yet 'cause it still seems to work. It worked fine under 0.98 and now with 0.99.
