This is indeed useful information you have found but makes the bug not
invalid as this means pgreps matching behavior is defect as demonstrated
in the startpost. If pgrep matches against cut process names it should
also internally cut the input of the user (or automatically switch to
/proc/_pid_/cmdline if pgrep notices that the input of the user is too
long and could never return a match).
** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
** Summary changed:
- pgrep cuts process names
+ pgrep does not correctly match the input of the user against the process name
