There was a problem with a change in behavior of the /proc filesystem in
the 2.4 (and perhaps 2.3) series kernels, and an error crept in to the 
fix
for it.  That's probably what's causing the crash.

Change the condition of the while loops in the +load method in 
NSProcessInfo.m
to be -

'while (argument < _gnu_noobjc_argc)'
