I think the problem is not in the "ps" behaviour. i had to solve it too and
the thing is that when ps is piped to another command, it may happen that
its output lines are truncated to 80 columns.
check that by comparing a bare "ps aux" output with a "ps aux | more" output.
the trick is to add "w" option which will "enlarge" piped ps' output lines
: try "ps auxw | more"
there are other options too, playing with environment variables
