I can't believe this is still being discussed!  This was "fixed" two days ago
so that 'ps -e' by a normal user can only see the environment of processes
that they own.. No matter whether they use -a, -U, etc.  Root can (of course)
still see the environment of all processes.

-stable is a different matter.

Cheers,
