top: cannot open /dev/kmem: Permission denied
kvm_open: Permission denied
 
  This just now started happening.  Is anyone aware of any thing "malicious"
or "fingerprintish" that could have caused this?

Maybe you just have a permissions problem. Have you tried:

su
chown root.sys `which top`
chmod 2777 `which top`

BTW, if you have to use an anonymous remailer, why don't you use an
anonymizing mailer that lets someone reply to the given address, so several
thousand people don't have to read the answer to your question?
