Title:
  ps aux with COLUMNS displays odd pattern

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was incrementing COLUMNS while using 'ps aux' to search for a
  particular gdm process, when I noticed that that output length does
  not increment by a single character.   Rather it increments, then
  truncates, and increments again.

  Here's a sample using a for..loop to increment COLUMNS:

  $ n=0; m=81; for ((c=${n}; c<=${m} ; c++)) ; do echo ${c}:
  $(COLUMNS=${c} ps aux 2> /dev/null | grep ^gdm | grep 22693 ) ; done
