On linux systems, they are part of the same package (procps), and both top and ps will behave the same way. Your RHEL3 system will likely be running a 2.4 series kernel. From the procps FAQ: Why do ps and top show threads individually? The 2.4.xx kernel does not provide proper support for grouping threads by process. Hacks exist to group them anyway, but such hacks will falsely group similar tasks and will fail to group tasks due to race conditions. The hacks are also slow. As none of this is acceptable in a critical system tool, task grouping is not currently available for the 2.4.xx kernel. The 2.6.xx kernel allows for proper thread grouping and reporting. To take advantage of this, your programs must use a threading library that features the CLONE_THREAD flag. The NPTL pthreads provided by recent glibc releases use CLONE_THREAD.
