As quoted from <7294 at auspex.auspex.com> by guy at auspex.auspex.com (Guy Harris):

| It will do so even in the ISC UNIX that the original poster said he was

+---------------

...nor would it do any good, since running "ps" won't automagically increase
the size of the string stashed in the ublock.
