When I run the utility 'top,' it displays a bunch of processes that have
mumbo jumbo in all the fields, as if it is unable to resolve any
information such as the name, size, or even pid of the processes.
I've never seen this happen in other computers that I've looked at 'top'
on before.  Do I have a corrupt version or something?

(I am running FreeBsd-current as of last Friday).
