Oh, and I totally forgot ..
The merge from Andrew merged in various VM counter updates, which change /proc accounting in ways that make some of the system monitoring stuff unhappy. In particular, you'll find "vmstat" dumping core, and "top" has a few glitches too.
You can fix all of this by just upgrading to a newer "procps" package. Rik maintains a procps-2.0.9 (many of the stats were his) at
http://surriel.com/procps/
I don't think there are ready-made binary packages, but maybe some enterprising and helpful - and trustworthy - soul can do that and get vendors to add it to their upgrade list (or at least make it available in contrib).
