Hi there,

I'm working woth Linux 1.3.x (1.3.88 at this time).

Everytime I call 'ps' with the user option (-u) or 'top',
which lists user dependent, too, the process dies getting a
FPE signal (floating point exception).

Has someone got a solution for this problem ?
I tried to trace the process hopefully to identify the problem,
but I didn't.

thanx Alexander Strauss

Try reading past posts! This has been answered LOADS of times.
Get procps-0.99a (but keep your old xload somewhere safe -
the new one segfaults on me.

You have not read the documentation. You have not been following
discussions in comp.os.linux.development.system nor in the
linux-kernel mailing list. So you should really not be using
a development kernel.

The solution to your problem is upgrading procps.

Read Documentation/Changes in the kernel source.
