    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations which use a privieleged
    setuid ps comand.

    This test uses ps -u $VSC_UserName -o user= to generate a list of
    running processes belonging to $VSC_UserName. Our implementation
    of ps changes the effective user id of the ps process to 'root'
    (setuid root). Since the -u user= option selects processes based
    on the real user id, the output, printed using the effective user
    id, contains the ps processes whose listed user id, root, does not
    match $VSC_UserName.

    We suggest changing the test line from
    ps -u $myname -o pid= -o user=
    to:
    ps -u $myname -o pid= -o ruser=

    The test should then pass.
