It still will, even with that bug fixed. procps 1.2.x use the h flag to turn off header generation; Albert's version tries to implement every flag ever available under any version of ps ever made (correct me if I am wrong, Albert) and so h is overloaded -- turn off all header generation (specific to old procps) and generate a header every page (long-time BSD meaning) and he tries to distinguish between the two based on whether standard in is a tty. Unfortunately, most scripts, including init scripts, run with standard in being a tty, so the distinguisher doesn't work.
We're working on resolving this...
