I've rebuilt kernel and world on every DTrace enabled system. I built
from a clean svn checkout. I still see this behavior, although it's
definitely the worst on HEAD:
bran...@x300:/usr/src$ svn info (12-03 22:00)
Path: .
URL: svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head
Repository Root: svn://svn.freebsd.org/base
Repository UUID: ccf9f872-aa2e-dd11-9fc8-001c23d0bc1f

The following NEVER works on this system running HEAD:
bran...@x300:~$ sudo dtrace -n 'syscall:::entry { @num[execname] = count(); }'
dtrace: description 'syscall:::entry ' matched 514 probes
^C
bran...@x300:~$ (12-03 21:59)
Of course, sending ANY signal to dtrace via pkill or killall promptly
causes dtrace to spit out:
bran...@x300:~$ sudo dtrace -n 'syscall:::entry { @num[execname] = count(); }'
dtrace: description 'syscall:::entry ' matched 514 probes
dbus-daemon 6
syslogd 7

sudo 457
wpa_supplicant 648

bran...@x300:~$ (12-03 22:02)
Very troubling.
Question: Should I be rebuilding my ports (xterm, zsh, ksh, etc...)
after updating to make sure that the proper things are happening when
sending these keyboard interrupts? I'm really grasping here :/
