Very strange, I'm running 2.2.14 and procps 1.2.9-3, with
top and ps functioning as usual. Can't recall doing anything
spicey during my kernel-install (seriously doubt it; still a
relative kernel-newbie).
Looking through my boot-messages, there is one strangeness,
though probably unrelated: "process accounting" fails w/
"not available". "Process accounting" belongs to the acct
package, which I can't remove?!
