Yes. It even is in the FAQ. Your old binaries are "out of sync" with your
very new kernel. Kernel memory has changed since your ps was compiled, so
ps looks for the data at the wrong place.

Why not download the whole new 1.3A snapshot that Steve Allen juss uploaded
and test it?

Best wishes,

          Nico
