Hi again.

I received some nice help via email to my latest problem with ps not
running with -aux anymore after I put in a Cyrix NDP recently (it 
died with Floating Point exception.)  I found the patch in Terry's
patchkit (patch 36), applied it, and rebuilt ps.  I also rebuilt
libutil.a, as was suggested by Andrew Moore (alm@netcom.com).  He
also suggested I needed to remake some mk_db something or other
(there's a 'database' file that gets built during booting(?) some-
where in the filesystem.  I've seen it before, but don't remember now
the path for it.  I am at a loss to understand how to rebuild this
file, should I need to.

BTW, ps -aux works now.
