State-Changed-Why: 
Can you try http://people.freebsd.org/~gavin/PRs/137890.diff ?

The failing part is attempting to check that all symbols were found.
Looking at the kvm_nproc manpage, the list returned by kvm_nlist is supposed
to be terminated by "p->n_name == NULL", however this wasn't being checked.
We were therefore wandering off the end of the list.
