I'm seeing a very strange problem with ps. I was calling "ps -U
operator" to check the status of some dumps and it was working fine, but
then I ran it again and got a kinfo_proc size mismatch. Calling it with
no args still works, but calling it with -U doesn't. This is with a
current as of this morning. I'll try a rebuild after this dump
finishes. You can see what I did in a transcript below.
