wierd output from ps command and top

[Richard Schilling]

I don't see this covered in the archives, but I can't believe it hasn't come up yet.  The following is the output I get from running ps.  What the heck happened.  I suspect a kernel configuration issue, but can't be sure.

Thanks.

Here's the output:
