I see the same thing on a CURRENT from a couple days ago.  Not
only does the header line wrap, causing the odd display at the
top, but for each line only 3 characters of the actual command
fit on the screen.

Here's the actual output on an 80 column screen:

54 process 20661 running, 53 slee 0.00,  0.06,  0.03    up 0+03:38:09  09:40:36
