	I've encountered an interesting bug/feature of XFree86-3.1 on 
FreeBSD-1.1.5.1.  If you run xload as a normal user, it dies with the
error 'xload: couldn't obtain load average X?oeXS'.  Now, here's the really
interesting part. If you are 'root', it works fine. xload perms are:
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     kmem        12288 Sep 28 10:08 /usr/X11R6/bin/xload

I'm stumped on this one...
