Well, first of all, touch /var/run/utmp (that should probably be done
in rc somewhere if the file doesn't exist -- please file a pr)

Second of all, the suggestion was only a last ditch for situations in
which kmem reading stuff like ps barfs totally. It was *not* a cure
all for anything that might be wrong with your situation.

man -k breaks if your whatis database isn't in place. You might try
fixing that.
