I dunno. Add a completely POSIX compliant ps command into
/usr/posix ? Or replace /usr/bin/ps with a completely POSIX
compliant ps and move our traditional one to /usr/ucb? :-)
Seriously, we should give some hard thought into how to
provide/migrate to a POSIX compatible utilities environment. It's
been discussed on the lists before, but I still believe providing
POSIX compatible versions of utilities on a separate path is the only
clean way to make this happen.
Cheers,
