I had this happen to me once in the last days. In my case, there was an
APR test process that was hung that was causing the problem. Once I
killed the process, procps worked again.

OP, you might try procps with nothing but bash running. If that works,
you might be able to figure out which process is causing procps to bomb.

They spell it "da Vinci" and pronounce it "da Vinchy".  Foreigners
always spell better than they pronounce.
