[toolbox-l] "ps auxw" behaving weirdly -- kdeinit problem?

[Olof J. <ol...@au...>]

I've noticed after installing KDE2, that "ps auxw | grep <whatever>" is very 
slow. If i add another "w" to the argument, it's as fast as normal.

It seems like kdeinit is somehow messing up it's entry in the process table. 
Maybe the string is unterminated by mistake?

A "ps auxwww | more" gives output where the kdeinit entries are ~20 lines of 
whitespace after "kdeinit: <program>". I've seen it both on AIX 4.3.3 GOLD 
and 43S.

Has anyone else seen this?


Regards,

Olof
