ps -[aAe] problems.

All,

I am currently having problems running the ps utility with any of the
options which specify that details on all running processes be
returned: the process hangs (the session, not the OS), can only be
interrupted by Ctrl-Z, and even then cannot be killed with signal 9.

The rest of the system seems to be running normally (no errors have
been reported).

I realise that the simple solution is to reboot, but I would like to
try other solutions, and perhaps be able to avoid such a situation in
the future.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? or suggestions as to what
might be wrong and/or how to fix it?

regards,

Matt
