Could you guys check your lib versions? Someone mentioned on linuxnet that it breaks for him, but if he LD_PRELOAD libgnumalloc.so, it works correctly. Sounds like a possible programming bug in ps. I haven't tried any of this myself because my linux box is back at home, so take this as third hand info. :-)
