w, and ps -u generate floating exceptions.

        vmstat, iostat, and swapinfo no longer work, with the following

Did you boot your kernel as "/netbsd" or as "/netbsd.new"?  The startup-time
gimmickry which caches the kernel symbol table looks at "/netbsd" regardless of
what you booted, so if you didn't boot that kernel, things get confused (another
fascinating side effect, which is actually what drew my attention to it first, is
that sendmail starts refusing connections because the load average is improbably
high...).

Another opportunity to lobby for table()...  ;-)
