You too noticed ps -e truncates process names.

At first, I suspected pgrep was a script over "ps -e"
but pgrep is a C executable.

ps and pgrep are both linked to libproc.so:
objdump -x /bin/ps | grep libproc
objdump -x /usr/bin/pgrep | grep libproc
NEEDED      libproc-3.2.7.so

Probably/maybe a common function in libproc
has a bug/limitation (?).
