While we are talking about this, my ps (yes, procps-0.99a) give
this:

> ps ax

Notice the "-l" lines? They're actually:

> cat /proc/6552/stat
6552 (in.rlogind) S 45 45 45 0 -1 1048832 23 0 78 0 1 14 0 0 1 0 -1 0 6981633 786432 88 2147483647 134217728 134228832 3221224960 3221221044 1073845852 0 0 2149580800 65536 1225500 0 0

> cat /proc/6552/cmdline
-l

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I assume that this isn't the
value we wanted returned, right?

Shin!
