procps stop working randomly (2.4.1)

[David Raufeisen]

Hi,

Never seen this before but this morning 'ps' and the like randomly stopped
working..

david@prototype:~$ ps aux
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
david@prototype:~$ 
david@prototype:~$ uname -a
Linux prototype 2.4.1 #1 Tue Jan 30 01:45:38 PST 2001 i686 unknown
david@prototype:~$ uptime
 10:46am  up  7:25,  4 users,  load average: 0.02, 0.14, 0.09

But if I wait for a little bit and run it again it works, then stops working..
and so on.
