>Description:
I noticed that "ps -u" gives the time a process was started in a
12-hour format, regardless of the locale setting.
It seems that the "start" field is designed to always be a fixed width,
so it probably shouldn't merely use the locale date format, as this
may cause variable widths.
In lieu of fixing this to obey the locale, I would suggest this should
be changed to always use a 24-hour time format, as 24-hour time is the
standard format for many locales including en_US and C.
