procps needs updating - "ps -u" and "top" will suffer FPEs if you
don't upgrade to the latest version. "ncpmount" needs an update
between 1.3.64 and .68 I think.

I have a problem with 1.3.68 myself: gdb can no longer read core
dump files. It complains "Couldn't fetch registers from core file:
File in wrong format" twice on loading the core file. Does anyone
know if a simple gdb upgrade will cure this?
