This is documented, but not very well:
The process file system (see procfs(5)) should be mounted when ps is exe-
cuted, otherwise not all information will be available.
As far as I'm aware, this only affects the -e option and possibly the
displaying of argument lists too long to fit into the kernel's argument cache.
See PR 54604 for a fix from pjd@ for ps -e that has not been committed yet.
