|There is no bug. You must rebuild the kernel nlist, /etc/psdatabase,
|with the ps -U flag. This must be done after a kernel build,
|because it uses the non-stripped kernel (/usr/src/linux/tools/system).
|Also, if you upgrade, and the process structure changes, you must recompile
|ps with the new header files.
Because of the ps' dependancy on the kernel, would'n it be a good idea to
release ps with krenel binaries and sources? That way everyone would have
a good ps working, and all interested in kernel hacking would be able to
rebuild the correct version of ps
