No /proc/*/wchan files in 2.5.60 - dbench does nothing

[rwhron@earthlink.net]

While running dbench 64 on 2.5.60 on quad P3 xeon... 

uptime
  6:09pm  up 29 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.03

There are 64 dbench processes though...
rwhron@dev4-003:~$ ps aux|grep -c dbench
66

There are no files in the dbench tmp directory.
I can cp a file and mkdir with no problem.

wli suggested looking at the wchan file, but there is none.

Based on 3222392583 in /proc/dbench_parent/stat, wli suggested looking for 0xC011CF07 in System.map:

root@dev4-003:/proc/1134# grep -C3 -i C011CF /boot/System.map-2.5.60
c011ca10 t wait_task_zombie
c011cb70 t wait_task_stopped
c011cce0 T sys_wait4
c011cf40 T sys_waitpid
c011cf5a t .text.lock.exit
c011d0f0 T do_getitimer
c011d1f0 T sys_getitimer
c011d260 T it_real_fn

wli said it looks like wait4 is broken.
