Ps is seg faulting while trying to read the wait channel for some
processes. It is very deterministic.
I doubt that it is a hardware problem as I am running linux on two
different systems. Configuration info follows main body of message.
If this is a well documented problem, I haven't seent it. It isn't
listed in the Changes file.
Thanks,
Brett
