and CPU runtime because it can't access the user area via /proc/<pid>/mem.
This is because the uarea is not mapped into the process address space
at USRSTACK on the alpha like it is on the x86.
Since I'm haven't been able to wrap my brain around the VM system enough
to be able to figure out how to achieve this mapping, and since it's
questionable that such an architectural change is correct, I implemented
a workaround to allow ps(1) to read the uarea from /dev/kmem using
kvm_read() instead of from the process address space via kvm_uread().
The kludge is hidden inside #ifdef __alpha__/#endif so as not to impact
the x86. (Note that top(1) probably uses this same gimmick since it works
on FreeBSD/alpha.)

You should update /etc/rc to the version I'm about to commit in a few

pattern matches will occur at offset zero of the source string. The bug causes
the input source string pointer to be incremented by the offset of the end of
the match, instead of it's length. The fix is to only increment the pointer by
the length of the pattern match (eo-so).
Of course, the one example in the man page shows a situation where the match
occurs at offset 0.

/dev/zero doesn't support mmap(), but the device driver mmap routines are
not called for mapping 0 bytes, so the error was not detected. mmap()
can't even be used for cp'ing special files that support mmap(), since
there is general way to determine the file size.

tag support. These changes have been tested with a Breeze Hill
Q47 DLT and a DEC DLT2500 media changer. The latter has no
volume tag support.
The chio(1) command was updated to include various flags to the
status subcommand. These flags can be used to select additional
information to be displayed (like volume tags).
A new chio(1) subcommand named 'voltag' has been added which allows
for changes to volume tags inside the media changer controller.
This could not be tested as the Q47 does not provide the functio-
nality.

ps can now run without the setgid(kmem) bit. If it does it will not be
