Ubuntu doesn't return all processes for "ps -e" so I guess there's something deeply wrong with /proc.

From the man page:

=$ man ps

     PS(1)                                                       PS(1)

     NAME
          ps, psu - process status

     SYNOPSIS
          ps [ -pa ]

          psu [ -pa ] [ user ]

 [snip]
          With the -p flag, ps also prints, after the system time, the
          baseline and current priorities of each process.

          The -a flag causes ps to print the arguments for the pro-
          cess.  Newlines in arguments will be translated to spaces
          for display.

plan9port's ps does not have a '-e' option, if given it is ignore.

Checking the script, ps uses the os version of ps  and the arguments -axww

using plan9ports' "ps -e" does not print all processes. dirread /proc fun I guess.
