New features are:
Automatic lookup using *.whois-servers.net
Recursive lookup using Registrar's name
Fallback to InterNIC for non-domains
-m for RADB database
-Q to turn recursion/fallback off

Turn off setgid-kmem for /bin/ps, it's now quite functional without it.
ps no longer needs /dev/*mem or /proc. (It will still use some /proc
files if they are available for -e, but it's not required, so it'll
happily run in a jail or chroot).
The proc stats are now part of eproc (obtained via sysctl) and no longer
needs to beat up the u-page reading code and the problems with that.
This also has the side effect of disabling 'ps -e' for normal users
*EXCEPT* when looking at their own processes. ie: they can see
environments in processes with their uid, enforced by the ownership of
/proc/*/mem. Root can still see them all, as it can open all /proc/*/mem.
pod files to be converted to and installed as manual pages.
These were probably overlooked in the last minor version number upgrade
to perl5. This change was approved by the perl5 maintainer.

__FreeBSD_version < 400004.
This allows -STABLE to build -CURRENT sources.
[mkstemps() was added to -current just before the version bump to 400004
(a matter of hours in this case), so the test is as exact as possible.]

accept(2). This is a not really problem on -current as the accept race
is fixed, however it is a MFC candidate for -stable.
This could possibly be slightly more efficient and leave the listening
socket permanently in non-blocking mode, but I wasn't certain that I
could catch all the stream/wait (not nowait) mode implications.
seconds caused overflow. Use a type-safe but slightly slower comparison.
Comparisons for other fields are still fragile.
Fixed rounding of cputime (don't do extra work to get it slightly wrong
by first converting without rounding to milliseconds).
Removed dead code for setting cputime.
Fixed comments about cputime.
It used to loop back up to the accept() call and block there,
shutting out all other transports until a new connection came in.
Now it returns instead after dropping the connection. That will
take it back to the select() loop where all transports can be
serviced. I intend to MFC this within a day or two since it
fixes a DoS vulnerability.
This fixes some nasty procfs problems for SMP, makes ps(1) run much faster,
and makes ps(1) even less dependent on /proc which will aid chroot and
jails alike.
To disable this facility and revert to previous behaviour:
sysctl -w kern.ps_arg_cache_limit=0
