Yes -- I expect rat overwrites its own argument strings, writing a 0 byte in place of the "/" for ease of parsing. Since ps just reports whatever strings it finds in the process' memory where a 0 terminates each argument, ps displays the result as two separate args. Though normally a good guide, ps can be misleading...
