ps command (process status) does not return anything anymore


Hi all,
I recently installed a newer version of bash and now the "ps" command
does not issue anything anymore (return code is 128). in fact, even
the options seem different as I don't see "-W" in the man anymore.
also, I can pretty much issue anything I want after the ps, like "ps
-dfiaodsfpaidfjasdfaf" and it will simply return nothing ($?=128
still). I've tried to search through the archives but i guess "ps" is
a bit to common!
anybody has any idea what could have gone wrong? any place where I
could check logs?
Thanks,
Anthony
