It looks like the loadaverage calculation code fails miserabley under
certain conditions. When I am doing a copy to or from an IDE floppy
(LS-120), I am getting loadaverage of about 4-6, while there's only
one really working process, i.e. `cp' or `mcopy' or `tar'. And only
one process is displayed in `R' status in the `ps' output. Checked
with several 2.1.10x versions.

Not a big deal, but still...
