The system was up to date at time of testing and was using the 8.1 (the
default) kfreebsd kernel.
I've tried the 8.0 kernel and its is the same. But the 7.3 kernel
doesn't suffer the issue with the Processes tab and the processes are
displayed. So its looks kernel specific. For the 7.3 kernel there is a
problem with the Resources tab. On selecting the Resources tab the tab
is never display but there is lots of "LibGTop-Server: kvm_read
(ifnetaddr): Bad address".
