Problems with 'top' on a Sun3x

[Joe Smith]

I picked up the latest sources to the 'top' program from Rice the other
day, and it worked fine on a 3/50 and a 3/60, but not on a 3/480.  After
recompiling on the 3/480, it did the opposite.  'top' was showing the top
10 users of the CPU, but not the command they were running.

Conclusion: With 4.0.3, you could get away with a single executable binary
for both Sun-3 and Sun-3x systems, but that no longer works with 4.1 of
SunOS.  Due to kvm differences, single binary for 'top' will not run on
both a Sun-3 and a Sun-3x machine.  Therefore it should not be installed
in /usr/local or any other common directory on the /usr partition.  It
should be installed in the appropriate /usr/kvm partition.  For instance:

	install -s -o root -m 2755 -g kvm top /usr/kvm/local/top
	ln -s /usr/kvm/local/top /usr/local/top

This warning probably needs to be added to the sources on rice.
