      Feeping creatureism strikes again:  SUN's version of "ps" has 51K of
text in it!  I wondered why "ps" took so long to start.  What on earth is 
in there?  The Bourne shell is less than half that size.

		text    data    bss     dec     hex
4.1BSD /bin/ps: 16384	3072	26044	45500	b1bc
SUN 2.0 /bin/ps	51200   10240   51536   112976  1b950

Compare "sh"; no huge growth there.

4.1BSD /bin/sh: 17184	2176	2600	21960	55c8
SUN 2.0 /bin/sh 22528   6144    0       28672   7000
