compiles and runs fine on my box:

FreeBSD ice 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #17: Wed Sep  3 23:59:58 CEST 2008     root at ice:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ICE  amd64

The number of sleeping processes is much lower than system top:

oldtop: 480 processes: 3 running, 450 sleeping, 2 stopped, 7 zombie, 18 waiting
newtop: 190 processes: 3 running, 160 sleeping, 2 stopped, 7 zombie, 18 waiting

Interestingly, the system top appears to be the one in error:

ice:~>ps auxww|wc -l
     194

Other than that, i could see no obvious problems.

CU,

I think the IDE issue is a good point.  People with IDE hardware in
their machines should be punished by making them wait to boot...
