Problem with 'ps' in System V

I am running SCO Xenix System V 2.3.1 and have the following problem with 
'ps'.

When getting a full description of processes running (ps -ef), if the command
line is too long of any process running like the logger, the output is truncatedone character too late.  So you end up getting a single character on the next
line.  This is not too serious, but me, fussy as I am, want everything to be
perfect.

Is there any source code available for 'ps' so that the description field
can be truncated.??
