  I believe the argument strings mechanism has been changed, so the kvm
routines that locate the command line arguments need to be recompiled.
In the case of ps, I think you need to rebuild libkvm, install the
updated library, and rebuild ps.

  There was an article posted to current-users recently that mentioned
something about this change.
