Core Dump as User

[ostony]

Anyone have any idea why I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" if I am logged in as a regular user and issue the command 'ps'? When I am logged in as root, I don't get this error.

[me@myserver me]$ ps
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Thanks!

Not sure how long ago or what version your running....but there was a bug in the apps source code. Upgrade your procs system and compile the source locally. If the latest version compiles properly then you problem will probably go away.

upgrade procs

If you need more info email me maxit@rcwing.com

Here's a little more info from gdb.
Not real sure what it means or if it helps.

[me@myserver me]$ gdb ps core

Thanks again for the help.
