>Description:
	The ps function has an option lstart. The man page specifies
	that is uses the ``%C'' format described in strftime(3).
	This I believe to be in error since %C refers to century.
	The correct option should be ``%c''.


>How-To-Repeat:
	ps -ax -o pid,lstart,command

>Fix:
        patch for print.c
