You must recompile libkvm and the ps program itself.  The problem is
that the proc structure size has changes, and ps operates by grabbing
the proc data out of /dev/kmem, which assumes knowledge of the proc
structure for iteration of the processes.  This is arguably a bug in
all BSD4.4 derived code, but it is the only way the ps can apply to
system dump files (which, by definition, do not have live functional
interfaces, only passive data interfaces).  Arguably, ps should operate
on a defined interface unrelated to the size of the proc structure,
and the 'ps of system dump' facility ought to be built into a 'crash'
or similar program instead of loaded on the shoulders of ps.
