I looked at the source code for the 1.18 tarball and it doesn't work
as expected because you're using the --user option to ps:
$ ps H -o lwp,cmd --user 0|wc -l
110
$ ps H -o lwp,cmd --user 1001|wc -l
22
The command I used omitted that and used the -e option:
$ ps H -eo lwp,cmd|wc -l
231
That allows me to filter all processes, including non-root processes.
It would be better to be able to control the entire ps command, not
just the $psformat. That'd vven allow for the ability to use a
non-ps(1) program to get the process list.
