g'day all,

	try the following (On NCR Tower SysV.2):-

	$ ps -ef | grep xxxxxx
Gives->	treval  8911  8910  4 13:12:01 X00t  0:00 grep xxxxxx
	$ ps -ef | fgrep xxxxxx
Gives->	$


	Is this a related problem to the grep(1) bug? 
	Here fgrep(1) seems to be the one that is broken. 
	Is this because fgrep forks and the arguments no longer appear in the 
	argument space? If not, why not?

	Cheers, treval

	PS: (To NCR...)

	When will SysV.3.x be available for the Tower? 
	And why are the Tower machines so expensive? (All they are is an
	Atari ST in a big box after all ;->)
