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. :-)
