As I understand the PC ps.c 1.5.10 code, and I've looked at it closely,
when ps -U is run *either* the symbol tables must be in the kernel, mm and
fs images currently in memory *or* kernel, mm, and fs images containing
symbol tables must be on a path known to the user somewhere in the system.
This feature proved a (minor) annoyance when I was continuously rebuilding
the kernel, so I changed it.
 
Good luck with the next version - Will
