Time for another round of the blame game!

What's happening is that your shell is getting instantiated on a new vty.

Even on my /linux/ box, ps only ever shows up with what's running under
the child of my shell, so its not ps's fault, its more than likely
/XWin's/ fault for how it handled shells before.

More than likely however is that in your ~/.bashrc at one point before
was the line

alias ps='ps -a'

Even I have a few lines like that:

alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias ll=' ls -alF'
