The ps(1) utility's manpage says,
-a Display information about other users' processes as well as your
own. This can be disabled by setting the kern.ps_showallprocs
sysctl to zero.
It says nothing else about kern.ps_showallprocs. That's all it does
(in -STABLE).
This is not a bug, but simply a limitation of the (silly)
kern.ps_showallprocs feature.
