As quoted from <7326 at auspex.auspex.com> by guy at auspex.auspex.com (Guy Harris):
+---------------
| A quick look at the S5R3.0 "ps" indicates that if the "-l" flag is
| given, the string in the u area is chopped off at 35 characters rather
| than PSARGSZ characters, so a "w" flag might be useful there as well.
+---------------

3.0 is a bit old by now.

The current behavior is that ps only shows the short command name (u_comm)
unless the "-f" option is provided; then it prints out the entire u_psargs
string.
