[lug] load average constant at 2

[Atkinson, Chip]

The crude version of the ps patch that was installed on my machine was "too
small".  If you 
ls -l $(which ps) and see something that's around 6K bytes, rather than 60K
bytes, it might be a tipoff.  You can use RPM to help perhaps:
rpm -q --whatprovides /bin/ps
returns something like procps-2.0.6-5
followed by 
rpm --verify procps-2.0.6-5

ps doesn't show anything unusual either.  I thought about an intruder but
I don't see anything to be honest.
