Title:
  PS_FORMAT=thcount does not work anymore

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (procps 1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.3), the following
  worked fine:

  $ export PS_FORMAT=thcount
  $ ps
  THCNT
      1
      1

  In Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (procps 1:3.3.9-1ubuntu2), it does not work
  anymore:

  $ export PS_FORMAT=thcount
  $ ps
  warning: $PS_FORMAT ignored. (unknown user-defined format specifier "thcount")
    PID TTY          TIME CMD
   6593 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
  16633 pts/1    00:00:00 bash

  Other PS_FORMAT specifiers still work fine (I have tried many, but not
  all).

  In real-life usage, a more complex PS_FORMAT would of course be used,
  such as
  PS_FORMAT=pid,s,thcount,nice,euser,egroup,etime,cputime,%mem,rssize:6,size:7,vsize:7,command

  Workaround: use nlwp instead of thcount (they are alias to the same
  data, and nlwp works fine in both versions).
