	I've got a wild situation with 386BSD.  When I invoke the ps command,
I obtain:

	ps: proc size mismatch (got 8520 total, kinfo_proc: 564)

	The total amount (I assume processes) has been growing.  In fact,
before I log in, the swapper seems very buzy - probably running the processes.
So, how can I clear these processes? - I can't get the process id's as ps
aint working.



						Thanks a bounch
