ps throws "Bus error (core dumped)"

Thus far on my SPARC S7 there seems to be other problems :

styx# ps
Bus error (core dumped)
styx# ls -la
total 16900
drwx------   3 root  wheel      512 Mar 16 14:22 .

Core was generated by `ps'.
Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error.

Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)


So maybe a total native re-build is needed?
