Joe,

When you upgrade you need to take a read of the Documents/Changes file
in the kernel source. It usually tells you what the upgrade.

I believe I read that this particular problem is caused by an old C library.
You'll need to upgrade your library.

Oh BTW if ps breaks you'll need to get the latest procpc package (I believe
version 0.99a is the latest)
