Bug#2402: ps no longer understands `g' option



Package: procps
Version: 0.99-1

The BSD-derived ps on SunOS4 understands an option `g', which
(according to the manpage) is required to make it display process
group leaders.

Linux's ps used to support (or at least, not complain about) this
option, but it now rejects it.

It appears to display process group leaders anyway, which is fine.

I'd like ps to be changed so that the `g' option is a compatibility
option which it ignores.

Thanks,
Ian.
