Hi,

I am running FreeBSD-1.1.5.1RELEASE.

Unfortantly, I have to use the MATH emulators. The gnu Math emulator written
by Bill Metzenthen is very good, and passes the tests I have, unlike the 
standard emulator. There is one problem though, if I do a `ps aux` using the
kernel with the gnu FPU emulator linked in I get this kind of output. The 
started time is wrong. Changes in the nlist?

Anyone have a "quick-fix" ready? :-)

Adios.
